That road just keeps beckoning...

"Omaha! Omaha!" No, this is not a Payton Manning commercial but we did spend our first night back on the road in that illustrious town. The next night saw us roll into Madison, Wisconsin and tonight I'm writing this in Mackinaw City, Michigan after making our way over the 4 mile span known as the Mackinac Bridge.

We're here to ride the 'Westshore Lake Michigan bike tour' that will take us from Montague, Michigan some 400 meandering miles up the coast of this third largest Great Lake back to Mackinaw City. Tomorrow is shuttle day where they drive us and our bike to the starting point. 400 miles over 6 riding days is not overly ambitious (we hope!) but having done a similar ride several years ago through Wisconsin's Door County we know to expect a lot of rolling terrain (AKA hills) as you go over hill and Dale from one quaint lakeside town to the next.

It was a hot drive until we reached the road that takes you along the top of Lake Michigan where the lake breeze dropped the temps a good 10+ degrees. We're hoping the nice weather lasts for the next week or so as this is country neither I or my better half have seen before.

Three days in the car hasn't helped our legs so we're anxious to get going!

More from the road!
