    It looks like a lot of fun! It doesn't say much about the 51 mile ride back to your car the next day

    I know they have a shuttle service running, but DH and I are planning to take our RV and tow my car so, we will essentially have our own private shuttle if we can find a place to park it overnight.

    I suppose it goes north on that "tunnel of trees" , you know , the road with no lane markers because it's a very narrow road. I think going north on it is harder. I've gone south on it and it was breathtaking, but even still I was wishing for some lower gears!

    I rode it several years ago, and it is hillier in the beginning than I expected. Beautiful ride through Tunnel of Trees. I'd driven it several times, but everything is more beautiful on a bike!

    Lots of lightly travelled rural roads after the Leggs Inn. Flat into Mackinac.

    I am so excited. DH and I are actually playing hookey from work Fri to make it a nice long weekend up north. We plan to take the RV (of course) and stay at Mackinaw Mill Creek Campground.

    I purchased one of the ride jerseys on-line and just got it last week. My first event jersey ever!!!! I just hope it doesn't rain that Saturday.

    I am sooooo going to do this ride. Someday.

    Actually I'll probably be up that way in a couple weeks but more on the NE side.
