Michigan Ride

Had a three hour ride on the schedule and this was completed in 3:05. Went from Boyne City to Charelvoix with maybe 1/3 of the ride on bike trail and the rest on the road. Not much traffic so that was fine. The section from Charlevoix to Petosky was all bike trail. Given the road it parallels, that is he only option. The trail itself was a little boring (lots of factory and business entryways, lots of highways traffic noise). Once in Petosky I could have continued around Little traverse Bay to Harbor Springs but opted not to given the rather slow nature of the trail: some families, older couples, runners, dog walkers, etc, most with earbuds and not paying attention. I headed inland and after on road that ended in sand and gravel finally found my route to Walloon Lake and then back to Boyne.
