We left camp this morning bright and early heading for St. Ignace. St. Ignace is located at the north end of the Mackinac bridge between Lake Huron and Lake Michigan. The Mackinac bridge is a very long bridge representing the longest suspension span in the world. Tomorrow we need to get to the south end of the bridge in order to continue south toward Traverse City. To do that we plan to take a ferry to Mackinac Island, pedal the 8 mile loop around the island and then take another ferry to Mackinaw City (the south end of the bridge). Should be fun. Mackinac Island does not allow motorized vehicles.

Today's ride continued along Route 2 which carries a lot of traffic. In spite of the great shoulders we are ready to see some nice and quiet back roads. Route 2 however continued with some beautiful views of Lake Michigan.
Miles today = 63
Total miles = 2875

ReplyDeleteGorgeous views and an amazing bridge.
ReplyDeletePastor Roger wanted you to know that he moved his bike from the garage to the truck today. He thought you would be very proud of him!
ReplyDeleteHope he didn't get a flat tire out of the effort.
