Wednesday. July 27th. Day 38

Today we did a 74 mile ride from Mount Pleasant to Birch Run, MI. The ride was through farm country and pretty flat. It turned out to be a little harder than expected due to some head winds. With the wide open spaces there is not much to protect you from the wind. Our only sag stop was at a woman's farm who has come to know the race leaders over the years. She had a dental appointment but some family members were there to greet us with home made chocolate chip cookies. There was a little 3 year old boy who was taking dollar donations from the riders for his "foundation." not much else exciting on this leg. We are quickly working our way across Michigan. The forecast is for rain tomorrow but maybe we'll get lucky.
