Default Mackinac

Heading out to Mackinac area on friday afternoon with the inlaws and the family. Thank the Maker that I will be on the cycle and be able to enjoy the sound of the road and my own tunes.

Anyone in the Michigan area is more than welcome to meet up for the ride. Prolly won't want to hang out with the family to do the sightseein but the ride will be nice.

Yeah when I came through there on my way to the rally it was windy as FUCK! and because of the construction... I had to ride on the grate... not bad... but with the construction trucks creating a barrier from the wind... any time I came to an open area... I slid sideways... not fun.

but I was smiling

Whoa! I have a phobia of bridges so not sure how I'd do on that thing. And the grates? NO WAY!!!

Hope you had a fun trip.
