Dnes opäť v plnej zostave vyrážame na cesty, smer severovýchod naprieč Michiganom, cieľ je viac menej nejasný, istý je len smer :-) Z Harsens Islandu, pokračujeme okolo Anchor Bay cez Anchorville (kde náhodne stretávame mamu SJ) na sever do mestečka Richmond, odtiaľ po parádnej cykloceste do mestečka Armada a potom všakovakými prašnými cestami k mestečku Almont. Michigan je tu poriadne placatý a po celý deň jazdíme okolo fariem a polí. Počasie bolo vynikajúce, akurát nám dosť fúkal protivietor. Spíme opäť raz na niekoho záhrade (prichýlili nás veľmi milí ľudkovia, manželia so synom, dokopy majú asi tak dvestopäťdesiat rokov, volajú sa Viki a Tom a ráno nás pozvali na raňajky).
Pre dnes sme najazdili 45.8 míľ.
After more than two weeks of rest at SJ's house it's time to get back on the road. So finally, after all preparations (which consumed the last three days), all three of us left SJ's family house on Harsen Island Thursday morning. We rode off the island and then north-west around Anchor Bay. The road was paved by roadkill turtles and snakes, because on one side is a lake and on the another is huge wetland. Before Anchorville we ran into SJ's mother so we could thank her and say goodbye again :-). From Anchorville our bikes headed to Richmond, zigzagging between dirt and paved roads. In Richmond there is an amazing bike trail (again on an old railroad). We followed it to the small town of Armada. During a snack break, one old hiker stopped to swap his bikes stories about crazy rides down California hills so steep his bike started smoking. Then we zigzagged between dirt and paved roads through farm fields and small farms. Michigan is nice and flat in this area. Weather was sunny and beautiful but sometimes the wind was against us. In the evening we ended near Almont.
We camped in Tom & Vickie's back yard which was very nice & beautiful. They've been married 62 years, fostered 39 babies & raised 6.
Today we did 45.8 miles.
