P2P day 31 and 32

Yesterday’s 88 mile ride with the first 60 miles in heavy rain “dampened” my enthusiasm to blog so today’s blog covers both days.  Some miscellaneous pictures below:

Forgot to add this on Monday.  This cow is in the Trek Bicycles factory and is painted with some test colors for upcoming models.  Some of them are cool metallic colors like some of the old Klein bikes.  Don’t know why they use cows, I’m udderly confused........that one’s for Dad.

Those are Heather’s legs in the foreground as we had a cocktail on the off day.  In the background is the Wisconsin State capital building in Madison.

A shot of tonight’s room in Holland, MI.  Trek is putting us up in some very cool hotels.  We’ve had a lot of Holiday Inn Express and similar which I expected but we’ve had some very cool modern hotels as well as some great historic buildings.  

My ride is here.  Before you accuse me of cheating on my cross country bike ride you should know that a ferry across Lake Michigan was always part of the plan.  A 3-hour ferry ride was followed by a short, flat ride into state #8, Michigan.

When I took this picture coming into port in Holland I didn’t notice the guy peeing on the lighthouse but it’s the only one I have.  

91 miles tomorrow with a threat of rain but I’ve been promised a very cool brewery in Marshall, MI called Dark Horse.  If I don’t blog tomorrow it means the brewery was even better than advertised.

Out.
