| Mission Accomplished |
Today was “Mission Michigan”. The goal was to roll our wheels into that state and snap a photo of proof in front of the welcome sign.
The weatherman said it was going to be a beautiful day and he was right. We were treated to plenty of bright sun and temperatures in the low 90’s. Way better than yesterdays rain.
This part of Ohio is very flat sparsely populated farmland. We rode by thousands of acres of corn and soybeans for as far as the eye can see. It is an amazing site for anyone who has not seen it before. The roads were pool table flat, straight as an arrow and traffic non-existent.
Around mid-day we ran into a couple of older cyclist on recumbent bicycles. We stopped and talked for a while. The two were brothers 82 and 85 years old. I hope I am riding at 85.
In Grand Rapids we spotted an ice cream parlor and pulled in for some cones. Ice cream is hard to resist when you are overheated and hungry on a bike. We promised the young girl who waited on us we would make her famous on the internet. American Idol… I know you are reading our blog….. Hers she is the next Carrie Underwood.
