We exited the state through the Gerald R. Ford International Airport.
That seems pretty international to me.
I found the background details of the mural to be interesting.
This has been for me a very unusual run. I am at my core a guy who likes being home. With that in mind here is a look at my schedule for the last slightly over four months.
April 13: Vancouver
April 20: home for 23 days
May 13: Las Vegas and later Arizona for the Grand Canyon and then Utah.
May 25: home for 45 days
July 10: France
July 27: home for 14 days
August 11: Michigan
August 23: home
I will be hunkering down now and may not for the next 90 or so days stray any farther from my home base than Lake Vadnais.
It's been a great run, I wouldn't trade it for anything, I wouldn't trade it for having been at home.
But now I am home.
Here's a numbers note of some note. When I got home today I entered into my bicycle log the numbers for the rides I took in Michigan. A fairly significant note about that is that this year was the 10th year that the miles I rode in Michigan were on a bicycle that I own (a repeat special thanks to the person who stores my bicycle during the 50 and a half weeks of the year when I am not there). But the most significant number is that since I started keeping track of miles in 2001 I have now ridden 50,022 miles. Somewhere early on in that ride yesterday, probably somewhere around 168th and Quincy I rode past 50,000.
That seems like a lot to me.

Interesting milestone. Which is an oddly appropriate word. 168th and Quincy sounds about right. Just keep rolling.
We were glad to have you here. As
I hope you know.
Michigan Blue adds a certain penache to my attic.
