Looking for someone to tour upper half
 
of Lake Michigan this summer. Sixty eight year old male. Fifty or so miles a day. Can do credit card or camping or both but would prefer credit card touring. Start in Ludington and ferry across and around clock wise back to start at Ludington.

Sounds like fun. Are you going US2? Sorry I cant ride along this year.

101stairborne 02-28-15 04:58 PM
Yes, will probably do US2. Open to suggestions.

Having the westwinds at your back is a pretty good choice. Traffic is seasonally robust, if that is a consideration.

how many days would that entail?

101stairborne 02-28-15 06:58 PM
Mileage would be around 500 - 550. I am retired and would not be in hurry. I could do more than 50 a day.

I was checking on hotels in the torch lake area last year for Ride around Torch Lake and got sticker shock.

Enjoy!

Yes, that's a cottage industry up here.

August or September would work for me. Doing two trips in June and RAGBRAI in July. What would work for you?
