Add Mackinaw Island to cycling dream vacations!

[TrekTheKaty]

It's in the book, "100 things to see before you die." If you aren't familiar, Mackinaw Island in Michigan has no motorized vehicles--only horses and bicycles. There's an 8 mile loop around the island along with lots of other "touristy" things to do. I rented a bicycle and did one loop, lunch at the pub, then a second loop on my one-speed beach cruiser. Highly suggest it!

And they have amazing fudge. Mmmmmmm.

I've done that too!
Stayed at The Grand Hotel. It was July and it was too cold to swim :(

Yes, that is a very good time! Just make sure if you rent a bike on the island that the tires have air... :o In case you couldn't guess, I'm speaking from experience.

There are pictures of me, in my pram, in front of the steps of the Grand Hotel. I was even wearing a bonnet. :)

Oh neat! My dad took me there when I was about 13! I have pictures somewhere of me on that path with my braces and pink and purple bike and giant foam Bell helmet. :D Also YES the fudge OMG!

It's pretty much always too cold to swim up there. Brrrrrrrrr.
