Biking from Grand Rapids to Chicago
What I forgot to say about going to Grand Rapids for the Festival of Faith & Writing. Is that I'll be riding my bike back. Approximately 225 miles.
The first day will be Grand Rapids to Kalamazoo to stay one night with friends. Then a wild camp along the lake after the Kal-Haven trail. Then Dunewoods Campground outside of Michigan City, then home on a number of connecting? bike paths. I'm so looking forward to riding, sleeping outside, cooking over my catfish can de-natured alcohol stove.
To see little flowers carpeting a field or wake up to birdsong. Yessss.
What I meant to say is--keep me kn your thoughts. This will be my 3rd attempt to complete this journey. One other time a girlfriend and I attempted to cycle around the lake and only got as far as Saugatuck and in 2014 I camped out in Warren Woods and awoke to 3 inches of fresh snow on the ground. It had gotten down to 23 degrees the night before. The wind off the lake was brutal. My husband came and got me in Michigan City. But this time I'm determined to close the gap, to complete the lost segment and call this one done.
