The plan for michigan was always to do the UP, on the two lane highways, and then to just ride the interstate down thru the rest of the state. I did think about changing, and sticking with secondary roads, but once you make that turn towards home, you seem to just naturally pick up your pace. When I was working, we called it GHP, which meant Go Home Power. Additionally, I knew that if i pushed it a bit today, I could see and stay with our friends Bob and Mona. So that is why I did about 400 miles of interstate today. The very first portion was riding the Makinac Bridge over the straits. It was a little bit weird doing this on a bike. It's not so bad when you look at the oncoming traffic lanes, but when you look out over the bridge supports, and all you see is sky and water, you can feel a liitle disoriented, as if you are just suspended there. Anyway, after the bridge and interstate, I turned left and headed for Medina, Ohio. Tomorrow I'll head southeast and try to cover West Virginia.
