Mackinac Island MI--bikes

[sempronialou]

I haven't been there since I was in 8th grade for our class trip which was many many years ago. The first time I went there I was 7 and had just learned how to ride a bike. I remember my dad had rented bikes for him, me and my brother to ride, but I kept falling behind because I wasn't fast enough to keep up. I don't remember what my mom was doing, but she didn't go with ride with us. Anyway, I have good memories of Mackinac Island. I think a trip there is in order.

I swear I saw something on the Pure Michigan website about a fall bike tour or century or something like that going on there in September, but I'm thinking I imagined it now.

I love Mackinac Island! DH and I went there years ago for about 4 days. No bikes, but we got a trail map of the island and tried to hike them all (didn't quite make it, but did a lot). Also rented horses one day and took them on the trail with a guide, which was fun also (tho it rained on us).

It's a lovely place with beautiful homes and outdoor spaces and totally got us into the idea of car-free living. Thanks for the great photo and bringing back some excellent memories!
