And yet another hot and muggy Michigan day! The locals are claiming
that this is an unusual June, and that this is August weather. Oh
joy! Fortunately it was not as hot as yesterday, and the light rain
we encountered was actually refreshing. Another favourable condition
today was a slight tailwind, and we were able to cycle over seventy
miles with ease.

But special credit goes to Gail and Susie today who pedaled close to
one hundred miles today, in order to catch up to the rest of the
group. And to Susie's credit did not call me as many fowl names
as usual. She is becoming hard core. However we still could not get
her to try Lebanese food. Instead she opted for A&W. We are working
on her.

This part of Michigan is still very lush, but also very flat. People
are again really friendly. Today we met Marty and Lisa Johnson who
stopped their car just find out where we were going, and ended up
coming to our motel room with a floor pump (always and asset) and
some tools we needed for minor repairs. They also joined us for
supper.

We also rode through Flint today. We normally try and by pass
cities, but it was Sunday and traffic was light. We are now less
than fifty miles from the Canadian border, and we are definitely in
the third period. After tomorrow I will have to give you our
statistic in meters and kilometers.

But for today we have pedaled 2,689 miles and climbed 106,199 feet,
and we have been on the road for 47 days.
