Sleepy Hollow to Imlay high school

Today we got up at 600. It spit a few times last night but we were dry in the morning. Had breakfast and made a lunch. Someone said it may rain today. A chance of a shower at 11. Possible thunder showers at 1. Well away we went. 

Harold Peter , John and I headed out. The roads at first were bumpy. Then it started to mist. Off and on. 

I told Peter I got a picture of the abominable snowman. Then I show him this pic of him leading the pack. It's just as rare. 

Stopped just outside of Flint at Carries sag. We picked up a couple of older ladies who didn't feel comfortable biking through town on their own. 

The roads were in rough shape. Some roads I just couldn't point out all the pot holes. It wasn't a busy road so we said everyone spread out and fend for yourself. Through town the tour de rain started again. We came into a sketchy part of town and I was leading.  I have to say we blew through about three or four red lights.  The people behind me followed and asked me what I was doing. I told them unless they wanted to lose their hubcaps we weren't stopping. We got to the sag on the other side of town with no problems. I went to a McDonald's today but I only used the washroom. It wasn't easy.  The not eating in mcds. That's what wasn't easy. 

We were getting close to the end of the ride. 

We went past a lake and some boats. I'm missing summer at home. Through all the rain I thought I'd make it to camp with dry shoes. The rain would calm down just before they would get soaked. Then the last 10 k it rain harder and harder. By the time we got into the school I was soaked. The bike was filthy. Looks like I have my work for tonight. 

Tent is set up. Laundry done. Bike cleanish. Hopefully it doesn't rain tonight.

I took it a little easier today. Well not really.  I just took it easier at the end because I could feel my knee starting up again.  So there's proof you can teach an old dog a new trick.   I'm looking forward to crossing over into Canada tommorow. I hear we're going on a ferry. Should be neat. Ill get lots of pics. See you Len 

Today's bonus pics are of Joan. 

This is someone who plays hard and relaxes hard. She's awesome.
