Nina told me yesterday that several of our friends wonder why I'm not back home yet. It is hard to appreciate just how big Lake Superior is. Yesterday was a history lesson, today's topic: geography. This is the largest fresh water lake in the world. Had I left from Zimmyville, riding south, I would be in Atlanta, Georgia now and probably staying overnight with Jay and Marilyn or Frank and Lauralie in our old neighborhood at Willow Springs. Continuing to ride south, I would finish up in Key West in a couple of weeks. Same distance in a straight line but instead I'm up in the wilderness riding in circles. It's a big ass lake.
A 33 mile detour took me off my game today. The road in these parts turns inland for a time and the detour is extending my time away from Superior. I had hoped to get back to shoreline roads tomorrow but Tuesday is now more likely.
I crossed back into the Eastern Time Zone this afternoon. When you travel at 10 miles an hour, little milestones take on more meaning.
Today's ride 51 miles for a total of 929.

All those trips from Zimmyville to Atlanta and back, I'll bet you never thought to ride your bike! 😂
