Day 43: Grand Rapids to Laingsburg, MI

Actual Kms: 108

Overkill: 2 or so to the beach at the State Park.

Roadkill: 2 dead racoons, one dead cat and one live cat.

Money Spent: $10 stamps and postcards.

Favourite Person Pick: Bob. We rode together all day today and he proved to be a great rider. He really was excited to go fast, so I kept up with him and at the end of the day when he complained that his knees hurt, I said "That's what you get when you pound it Bob...oh and my knees don't hurt"....that earned a swat from him.

Favourite Part of the Day: The tailwind was amazing. Bob and I were going 35-40 km for a good chunk of the day. Also, when we bet the gear truck and Ed looked at me and I said squeamishly "We had a tailwind! And a short day? I'm sorry??" :)

Worst Part of the Day: Knowing it is 2 days until Tim comes and trying to waste my time. We got in around 1pm....and there was no internet. So I went to the beach and wrote A LOT of postcards.

This picture is actually from Friday, but I thought I would put it in because of how excited we both look to be biking together.

Stop at Cory's SAG. We aren't allowed to use the jon because we can't import "waste" across the Canadian border. I think that might be because we can't guarantee it's all Canadian....just joking. Matt Zantingh drafting behind a wee little gator into the State Park.
