Alot of Amish, working the fields and riding along hwy 17. Had another flat today but got to sit in the shade and change the tube.
The planned bike trip is 1,200 miles, pedaling clockwise- starting in St Ignace Michigan, up into Canada and ending in Mackinaw City, Michigan. (Day 13 and 14 is the ride back to Torch Lake). I will be doing the ride solo and will be self supported. Plan on meeting a lot of like minded individuals and seeing some great sights along the way The expected timeline is 14 days, but that can vary due to weather, wind and me!

Lake Huron -day 2
Total miles today 84 miles and averaged 14.3 mph. Great day for riding! Wind at my back again and sunny (but not too hot). Most of the day was spent along Hwy 17 and 17B since most of my planned route turned out to be gravel! Ride for a couple of hours with two brother's from Everett, WA. Both attend UW and are in engineering. Fun to here there stories of their trip cross-country. Also had another recumbent rider stop, he was heading west and started in Toronto with a final destination of Costa Rica- he is planning to take 12 months!
