Escanaba,MI - Manistique,MI (48 miles - unloaded)
Today was awesome! We stayed up late last night chit-chatting, slept in this morning, ate a hearty breakfast, and prepared for our ride - unloaded.
Jesse road along with us while Samantha and Matthew drove the "support car". Not only did they have all our gear, but they did our laundry, gave us snacks and had food ready at the camp site. I now understand why people do supported rides! Although, it did feel a bit odd and unstable riding without all our gear.
The ride to Manistique was beautiful. We saw three sandhill cranes right next to the road and road by wetlands, mixed forrest, meadows and lake front beaches. Along we way we stopped shared snacks with Jesse and caught up on life. It was rather chilly today, which is surprising since it is the second week of August. And the wind would have been trecherous had we been fully loaded.
Riding into camp was the best part of our ride. We were all back together and got to hangout the rest of the evening. Meeting people along the way has been wonderful and we have had a good time, but nothing beats being able to talk with and share a meal with friends by a fire.
