Not surprisingly, we spend a LOT of time looking at our upcoming route. Frequently we tweak things at the last minute. Ever since we hit Minnesota there have been a number of wonderful, dedicated bike trails as options. Depending on their exact route and more importantly the riding surface, they can be awesome.
So yesterday and today when we hit the Pere Marquette Rails-to-Trail, with its smoooooth paved surface, we were stoked! At one of our intermediate stops today, we’re sitting in the van recharging with a little food & drink like usual, and we all agree that it looks like we’ll be riding this beautiful path all the way to Midland, another 32 miles! Yippee!
Amusingly, it wasn’t two minutes later (literally) that we hit this sign, just before the town of Clare, MI.
Happily, it was a modest break in the trail that they’ve christened the “Clare Gap” (a marketing coup). Ten minutes later we were back on this fabulous R2T amenity ... and yes, all the way to Midland.
Another GREAT day in the books!
