Today is a layover day in Mackinaw City and while most riders slept in with plans to visit Mackinac Island in the afternoon, a group of us – Patty, John, Lynne, Pat, Ann, Gary and Mike – set off bright and early for a brisk 23 mile loop before heading back to camp, showering and heading over to the island on the noon ferry.
The weather this morning was slowly overcasting but temps were mild and the wind a non factor as we reverse rode some of yesterday’s route into Mack City. We poked along for the first half at just under a 14 mile speed but on the second half had a decent 22 mile clip going for quite a while.
We sounded like a pack of kids, hooping and hollering as we flashed down the flats into town.
We were done before 9:30 am. There’s a bicycle scavenger hunt this afternoon on the island. We plan to have some fun with that and to ride around the island a bit to pick up a few more miles
