Today started a little early. Woke up around 5:30am. Looked at my weather map and said rain about 7am. Packed up my gear and started out. Couple miles down the road I stopped for a cup of coffee.  Within a 1/2 hr thunder and lightning.  Found a building being renovated with a good size overhang.  Hung out the for about 1 hr. Storm passed headed out. I was warned of a couple rolling hills. Let me tell you it was more then a couple. Almost 20 miles of rolling hills.  The last 13 miles was mostly downhill!! Got to the VFW in Alpeana and the place they first told me to camp would not be very secure and quiet.  After sitting and talking with a couple members I was able to camp in there fenced in backyard! Larry the head guy here unlocked the back gate so k can leave in the morning and lock up when I leave. Chris the bartender and John and Jerry made sure Larry came back to unlock the gate. John and his wife Val bought pizza for us and John was my sponsor so I could have a couple beers.  VETERANS rock. Heading out tomorrow for Roger City. Almost a 40 mile ride. Should be hilly with a west wind. See how it goes. I have my tent set up and charging all my equipment.
Good night
God Bless

Good Evening All, Today we leave Shell Island Fish Camp. Trisha and I spent 4 nights here and we had a great time! We biked each day not far but keeping our legs conditioned. This morning had our coffee and I had a muffin with peanut butter on it. Trisha had oatmeal she made but put to much water in it. Liquid oatmeal so she threw it away. We loaded up and headed out for Tallahassee. Today was only a 20 mile ride. Weather was great slight wind in our face but nothing to hold us back. We get into town and going up a hill so I was down shifting and my derailleur broke and twisted all up. Unloaded my fear from the back rack so I could take chain off so I could push my bike the last mile and a half. Lucky for me the ace I'm staying is a bike shop. They will fix my bike while I come home. They will have 12 days to get parts in and fixed. Should be no problem. Jerry Reynolds came to pick Trisha up and Trisha took us to lunch at Red Robin.  Had a great burger there. Came back to bike s
