Mackinac Island MI--bikes

[Trek-chick]

DH and I just spent a long weekend (our first wedding anniversary) on Mackinac Island, MI. We were married there, and love the fact that no cars are allowed on the Island. Horses and bikes are all you see, it's kind of refreshing to see so many people riding bikes.

We actually took our Shih-Tzu to the island (she was in the wedding after all) and rented her a doggie trailer to be able to ride her around the Island. it was her first experience but, I could tell she loved it I plan to get her one for Christmas.

Just thought many would appreciate the photo...and if you are ever in the area, go to Mackinac Island--it is the jewel of MI -- IMO

I was in Northern Michigan just a couple weeks ago, and tried hard to get my sisters to go on a little road trip with bikes up to Mackinac. The first few days it was 90o or higher - no takers. Then it cooled off, but brought winds gusting to 40kt. Still no takers. I haven't been there in about 20 years, and would really enjoy the opportunity to ride Mackinac. Maybe next year.

How wonderful! That is my idea of the perfect place - no cars, just bikes! It looks like such a lovely, peaceful place to rest and ride. Thanks for sharing!

Been there, done that, would like to do that again.

Mackinac Is. is one my favorite places in the world-- but the next time I go, I'm taking my own bike across. She needs a vacation too, right?

I've heard there's a bike trail that goes from Gaylord north up to the straits-- anyone know anything about it? It'd be awesome to ride from the family cabin there all the way to the ferry, then go on across to the island. And then refuel with fudge.... lots of fudge...

Congrats on one year of marriage, Trek-chick!

(Interlochen is a great place, too. Summer of 88 for me...)
