Had a slow start. Last night I forgot where I had hid / stored my phone. Honestly, how many places on a bike are there? So, had to repack everything after I found it and that upset me so much I couldn’t get to sleep for hours. Anyway, since I haven’t been on the bike for a long time, I had forgotten how much fun it is. The border crossing at Sarnia was slick – only 4 cars in front of me and the officer was real friendly. Got wet for a about 1/2 hour but no lightning. After that, however, it started to get hot and by the time I was on I-69 heading towards my destination – a burg called Marshall, MI – the temp was close to 30.
So, despite being cut off once and almost side-swiped once, all is OK here in Michigan. One does have to be vigilant all the time. The patched concrete roads, however, are hard on the body – it’s like trying to go fast over speed bumps. Looking forward to getting through Chicago early tomorrow and plan for a relatively short day of riding to Iowa.
