We are driving up to Holland, Michigan to begin this summer's biking trek around the upper half of Lake Michigan. (South of Green Bay we'll take a ferry across the lake.) We are using the maps put out by the same organization, Adventure Cycling Association. Josh's cousin and husband live a half mile off the route and so we'll be keeping our car at their house while we're gone. (Thanks guys!) The grand plan is to finish the loop in 14 days with no zero days, which puts us at 75 miles a day. That is 15 miles a day above our average last year. Since it's only 2 weeks we're hoping we can power through the miles. But we’re also perfectly content if we only make it part way up the coast enjoying the scenery. We were able to slim down on our packing list so Brie's bike is 48 pounds and Josh’s bike is 57 (30 total pounds lighter than the start of last year). Tomorrow we will start and Holland and finish in Hart, Michigan.
