Say 39 Lake Huron and Port Huron MI

Not much to blog on today.  Perfect bike day though it started out at 50 degrees.  Much better than the heat wave we experienced in the Dakotas.

Ride was 90 miles long and after 3 long days (113, 90, 90) I am pretty sore in spots.  But of all the States, Michigan has been the flattest.  No mountains, some hills but compared to the previous climbs, Michigan has been flat.

We arrived in Port Huron on the edge of Lake Huron early this afternoon.  We got a glance of the bridge we will be crossing into Canada.


Rumor is that we get a special escort over it - will fill you in tomorrow.  Several of the riders are not going to be able to cross.  It appears that if you have a DUI on your record, Canada won't let you in (this is what someone is telling me).  For all I know the person could be a felon.

Another person (young college age woman) came on the trip with an expired passport.  She had to take a taxi down to Detroit today to see if she can get it renewed on the spot.  That was a 70 mile taxi ride (time 2).  We have all known we needed our passport - next time they will have to tell people it has to be a valid passport.

Here is a snapshot of where we stand...


Getting close to the end.  My odometer reads 1995 miles.  So we have about 700 miles left to go.  Three days in Canada then into NY, Vermont and finally NH.

Tomorrow blog's posting will be an international one.
