Howdies people. I'm in Marquette, Michigan, in the lovely home of Michael, Angie, and little Gloria--some folks I met back in Wisconsin at the strawberry patch. I biked from Bergland today (115 miles) with the wind at my back. It was a pretty good bike day. I left US Route 2 today for the first time since West Glacier. I want to do a longer entry on that particular piece of highway that I've lived with for so long. Will get to it tomorrow maybe? I decided to head to the northern part of the Yoop on the recommendation of Michael and Angie. It really is beautiful up here.
So...I did a little math last night and it looks like I've got (had...last night anyway) 1200 miles to go. If I keep up my 70 mile per day average, that will put me back in Brooklyn on Friday, July 27th. Yuppers (yuppers is some kind of WI/MI term I've heard from the Yoopers alot), I could be finishing up my ride a good 15 days sooner than I expected. I'll have a clearer picture of my timeline in about a week or two once I get into Canada. Canada always clears the head, or at least the Clearly Canadian soda I drank back in the day cleared my head, or maybe that was just a chemical illusion brought on by all of the sugar they put in Clearly Canadian. Hey, whatever happened to that stuff anyway?
