Day 30 – Seney, Michigan (Sunday, May 31, 2015)
Hard day. Didn’t feel like getting going.
I had breakfast in the Perkins restaurant and set off against a tough North by North Eastern cross wind bringing cold air in from the lake.
At a rest stop not far from Marquette I met a “serious” cyclist on a time trial bike. He was on his way to Munising and back for a four hour workout. We both complained about the cross wind but it didn’t do any good. At the same stop I met another fellow who was planning a trip across North Dakota.
The wind made the trip tough and I made Munising for a late lunch and met a man who owned a bike shop in Esanola (south somewhere). There were certainly a lot of cyclists in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
After Munising the highway runs further from the lake and the wind subsided. I originally wanted to make Singleton but I felt fine at Singleton and in good time so I kept going to Seney.
Given the tough morning I was happy to have made Seney by the late afternoon. As I entered Seney I met some ladies at a general store all bundled up and asked about a restaurant they could recommend. They mentioned a bar/restaurant down the road and a campsite (they couldn’t recommend the restaurant because they doing go to bars). I went to the bar/restaurant and stayed at an old motel with a nice room in the rear.
