1300 more to go.
We're in Winona, MN after riding 90 miles today. The ride wasn't too
exciting until we were near the end and the area became hilly. It
reminded me somewhat of the Black Hills with the long downhill and at
other times of northern Michigan.
Speaking of Michigan, I'm happy to report that my husband and son
sailed on Natalie J in the Port Huron to Mackinaw sailboat race and
won their class. Congratulations to all the NJ team and good luck in
the Chicago-Mac next weekend. For those of you who don't know what
I'm referring to, the PH Mac is a 260 mile sailboat race in Lake Huron
that starts in Port Huron and finishes at Mackinaw Island in the
Straights of Mackinaw where Lake Michigan flows into Lake Huron at the
tip of the mitt. Next weekend is the race starting in Chicago and
sails in Lake Michigan to Mackinaw island, about 300 miles.
Being from Michigan, the great lakes are our playground. I look
forward to riding along Lake Erie soon. If you've never seen them,
they are like an inland freshwater sea.
Tomorrow's a short day with lots of hills and then we have another
century as we roll into Madison, WI.
Jan,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the 2000 milestone - what an accomplishment! We missed you this weekend on the Bike MS Ride - but looks like you are getting those miles in! On Saturday we had headwinds and high temps - Bruce was close to heat exhaustion and cooled down with the hose at the last rest stop - no Lake MI to cool down in. I thought this was the hardest century ever - I was wiped out at the end. Take care and enjoy the rest of the ride.
Mike
