Hello!
I’m following my lifelong dream to ride my bike across the United States.
This blog will document my trek.

Gravel riding in Michigan, 1977
My cousins, Dan and Pete, and I started in Menominee, Wisc. and rode across Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. We left our bikes in a church in Ste Sault Marie, went fishing in the Agawa Canyon for several days, then rode thru Lower Michigan to Lansing, Illinois. Here’s a few photos from that adventure…
