- **Review**: "Awesome event. Super well organized. Blessed with beautiful weather. 4 routes ranging from short 10-mile family ride on bike path to 35, 62, and 100-mile rides on quiet backroads southeast of Grand Rapids. Well-supported with 2 SAG vehicles and multiple well-stocked rest stops.  Food, drink and games at the end! Definitely looking forward to next year's GRREMSA!"
