Popular Post bikeman564™ Posted August 9, 2017 Popular Post Share #1 Posted August 9, 2017 I'm back from what is I'd say the best vacation ever Three days of riding w/ great people. 258 miles, ≈7300 of climbing. The weather was great, sunny and between 74°-82° w/ only 10 minutes of sprinkles. We stayed at the Traverse City camp ground. We started out w/ 6 people, but one guy could only ride a day and a half before he had to head back home. The rest of us stayed up there. This was such an amazing time that is impossible to put into words. The 6 of us get along so well and it was all fun and full of jokes and shenanigans. I didn't want it to end. I was awarded the polka-dot jersey for my climbing I was crushing them hills. Grades ranged from 4-12% in many areas. Here are some of the many pics taken, I hope you enjoy. Day one we rode 104 miles around the leelanau peninsula. bike club chick and I On the TART trail (traverse area recreational transportation) half way Lunch stop in Leeland one of our few ice cream stops Day 2 part one was old mission peninsula, 47 miles Day 1 part 2, ride around torch lake 49 mile This was a 12% climb Day 3 tunnel of trees, on M119, 47 miles start in Petoskey Harbor springs Lunch stop at Legs Inn, in Cross Village view while eating luinch 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted August 10, 2017 Share #22 Posted August 10, 2017 No bike ride it that much fun unless romance is involved. I do believe Bikeman is twitterpated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
