I drove to Michigan's Upper Peninsula from my home near Minneapolis this past weekend to attend a memorial service for an uncle who passed away nearly one year ago due to complications from Covid. This was our first chance to safely gather and pay tribute to him.
I spent Saturday afternoon out on my bike exploring roads I'd never been on. You can easily go for many miles and not see another vehicle along these desolate but inviting roads. It was very hot and very humid and I had a difficult time staying hydrated with the lack of convenience stores along the way. Being able to top off my water bottles with crushed ice and water at a bar in the city of Kenton was like finding an oasis in the desert. It was some of the most refreshing water I've ever had!
It was a beautiful day to be out riding. C'mon along and let me show you!
