• Lake Michigan Touring Rally Day 1

    August 30, 2021 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F

    After Willie's service, at 13:20 we took off for Indiana to grab the 50 Rides 1 Nation photo in Mentone, "The Egg Basket of the Midwest," whatever that means. Then it was a belong north to get to Battle Creek, Michigan, and the start of the Lake Michigan Touring Rally. We made it to the opening dinner at 18:00, pretty good for almost 300 miles. I skipped a few dealerships to get there, but worth it to chat with new people and hug old friends.

    I left this morning at 06:30 to hit a few dealerships and get to Traverse City early so I could get a pedicure and a haircut and to do laundry. Now, I'm at the nail shop and I think there's a hair place next door. Finally!

    So long [for now], and thanks for all the fish! ✌️
