Marquette Day 6

We woke up Friday morning and did not feel like getting out of bed.  We managed to get up and have a little breakfast.  The sky was not looking good and the forecast was not any better.  Michelle and I decided to take our chances and go on our date.  We headed out on the bikes and rode to the Marquette City limit and back.  It was a nice ride and a great date!
Michelle's longest ride of the year.

Shortly after returning it started to rain.  It would rain till we went for the spaghetti feed and packet pick up.  We got our race packets and had dinner.  We walked the expo floor a little.  I took some photos but lost them yesterday when I reset my phone.  The best photos were of the Salsa demo bikes.

We left the arena and went to the Holiday Inn so the kids could swim and we visited a little more with the Leach's.  We called it quits early and headed back to the house to try and get a good night sleep for race day.

Summer Vacation Day 4: The ER

Day four started out with beautiful weather.  We had breakfast and Michelle took Brendan fishing.  I decided I would take a ride on the bike and do a little recon for a family bike ride. I set off east to ride toward Rapid River.  I rode around the the edge of the bay and took a few pictures. Dunes on the edge of Gladstone. This was around 4-5 miles out of town in a small subdivision. The photo above is of a small river I crossed, unfortunately I cannot remember the name.  I thought I found a bike trail that would be nice for all of us.  Unfortunately it was swampy and not kept up.  I headed back to Gladstone and met Michelle and Brendan out on the fishing dock. I sat with them for a while and Brendan caught this. This is a Gobi.  An invasive species of the Great Lakes. After a few minutes I started back to the house.  On the way I started to have some chest pain.  After showering it had not let up. ...

Summer Vacation: Day 8, Marquette

Day out started out cool, cloudy and windy.  It would stay like that the entire day.  After Michelle got up we took a little walk in the park by the bay.  It was very cool and returned to the house.  The plan for the day was to go to Marquette to visit Raymond and his family and have dinner with them. I received a text from Raymond that informed me the weather was not good there and it had not been for the entire week.  It had been very cold and windy.  He told me to bring warm clothes and we would probably be inside. We arrived at there location just after 3:00pm and it was cold and windy.  They told us it had been worse earlier in the day.  After talking for a while Angel started to make burgers and hot dogs on the grill.  We walked down to the beach with Raymond to discover that the beach was not really there.  The water has been so high this year and the waves were coming in so hard there was no beach.  They said they h...

May 2017

May has been an interesting month.  The downside had been having pneumonia.  That took some time to recover from.  I am back to normal and starting to ride again.  I purchased a set of Jones SG Loop H-Bar for the Vortex.  A very nice improvement to this bike. https://www.densbikepost.com/blog/  You can use the link above to see my posts on this. We had a nice Mother's day celebration with both of our mom's and Michelle. Sorry no pictures, they are still on my phone. We did not do anything for Memorial weekend.  Not completely true, we bought a pool.  It will be installed sometime in June. That pretty much covers May.  School will be out at the end of this week and Summer officially starts.
