Monday, July 23, 2007, Manitowoc, WI to Ludington, MI, 7 miles on bike, 4 hours by ferry

This was our rest day - sort of..... We did get to sleep in and I enjoyed breakfast with my sister and her girls - we even went to the local bakery for fresh donuts. Then we had a wedding to go to! It was a lovely ceremony in a park and athe bride and groom even posed for photos wearing their special bike helmets.



I said good bye to my nieces and sister and biked to the ferry. We all had to load our bikes in the bottom of the S.S. Badger and then go to the upper decks for the 4 hour trip across Lake Michigan. We had calm waters and an uneventful crossing, though we did get to here the Bingo caller keep saying "Big Ship, More Fun!" a gagillion times.





We landed at 6 pm eastern time (lost another hour!) in Michigan - my 7th state. Had a sloooow dinner in town and biked to the hotel at dusk - just made it in before dark! Between the ride on the WI side and the ride on the MI side, I put 7 miles on my bike today.




Tomorrow is a 113 mile day, but the terrain should be gentle. This will be my last century + ride on this trip - yippee!!!!
