Landmark ride

We had a guided tour up the lake shore today to enable us to observe important local landmarks.

Along the way we were slightly unnerved by a six or eight point buck running down the street towards us, fortunately on the other side of the street.  The buck was observing what we so often see bicyclists unable to do, that whole keep to the right thing.

We veered inland for a passby of "Fuels with an Attitude".
A little farther along same road and then a swing to the north for "Road Ends".
And our first sighting of a cardinal flower outside of the State Fair this year.
We almost missed the season.  The cardinal  flowers are almost over here.

We saw blueberry fields on the way home.  THAT season is over.  The bushes are bare, Bowerman's is closed.

Michigan is open.

Excellent ride report. I'm pleased that you enjoyed the tour. It was a near perfect day to be out on a bicycle.

Also, Mrs. Smith seemed to enjoy the opportunity to run up and down 55 steps to the beach at Kouw Park during an early water break.

It looks like you hit all the really important points of reference. A good time is being had by all.
