Day 37 Tuesday July 26th
Yesterday we entered Michigan by way of the ferry and entered into eastern standard time. Not much biking yesterday just to the ferry and from the ferry to our hotel. It was a four hour boat ride and we lost an hour as well during the crossing so it was fairly late when we got in and we still had to get dinner. It ended up being a quick turn around for this morning and our final scheduled century ride. We biked 113 miles from Ludington to Mount Pleasant, MI. It was a fairly flat ride with cross winds and cooler temperatures and no humidity. When we first got on the bikes at 0630 it felt invigorating. There were times riding today when I could have sworn I was in NH or ME. There were cottages around lakes with pontoon boats out on the water. All in all a beautiful day to ride. The rest of the rides will all be under 100 miles unless of course I take a couple of wrong turns.

Hi Matt,
ReplyDeleteIt sure was great to see you and the family. Thanks for doing this trip so we had an excuse to get together!
I came across this quote today and thought it pertinent: "We do not take a trip; a trip takes us." -John Steinbeck
Happy Trails,
Patsy
Hey Matthew!
ReplyDeleteIt must have been a treat to see your family on this trip. We cannot wait to see you when you arrive home and see pictures of the beautiful countryside you got to experience while riding.
It is the only way we'll ever see it.
Be safe and drink your milk :)
xoxo

Clearly you didn't drive through Detroit. Nothing about that would remind you of New Hampshire or Maine. Can't see many Detroit residents in pontoon boats
