Ore to Shore Part 1

I woke up this morning at the Holiday Inn in Marquette, MI.  We left home yesterday around 11:30am and headed for Marquette. 

Loaded and ready.
 
 

We stopped at my mom and dads for a short visit and then got back on the road. From there we stopped at the Clare rest area for Butterfinger coffee.
Traversing the Mighty Mac


Then straight through to St. Ignace.  We had the traditional BC Pizza and climbed Castle Rock.

The final steps to the top.
 

On top of the Rock!

After getting gas we were on the road again to Marquette.  There was a short stop in Munising for ice cream and then the final leg of the trip.  We checked in at the Holiday Inn and were in our room at 10:20pm.  A long day on the road.

Todays plan is to get a short ride in and check out some of the course.  Then packet pick up and spaghetti feed for our pre race prep.  Stay tuned for more.

End of Summer

The Best Time to Bike! On Saturday I traveled with Raymond to the Bear Claw Epic.  This was the second annual race and the second time up there for Raymond and I.  We got there with plenty of time to spare and got ready to go. Farley ready to go. I registered for Beginner Fat Bike or at least I thought so?  I felt pretty good and knowing that I only had one lap to do I went all out.  I passed several riders through the race and felt I did pretty good.  This course has a lot of climbing and rewards you with some nice downhills. After I finished my race I put on a fresh shirt and went out on the course with the camera and my new lens.  I took over 400 pictures and headed back to the start finish after Raymond finished his race. Raymond on his second lap. And the final climb. The beginner awards were going on and they announced my name as first place for Beginner Men 50-59.  I was surprised, but did not protest.  Aft...

January 27, 2012

It has been a while since an update and the common cold has been working its way through the family.  Michelle and the boys have got the worst of it so far.  It has slowed me down but has not put me down.  Hopefully it won't get me completely.  It did cause Michelle to miss 2 days of work and I missed one.  We both missed Financial Peace University last night, we will have to watch the video.  It has caused me to miss some training. However, I did manage to get on the trainer 2 days this week and hopefully again tomorrow. Dad had a procedure today and all was well.  Had to get up early and pick him up.  He had the procedure at Covenant so I was able to work for a while when he was in.  We went out to lunch afterwards and then had a good visit with him and mom. This winter continues to be mild as we again are having above normal temperatures.  We had snow last night and most of it melted today.  They are call...
