7/2/12

Went further than planned today.  I wanted to stop somewhere north of Kalamazoo but the motels I was interested in turned out to be weekly/monthly rentals and there were no reasonably priced ones until Grand Rapids. So here I am at the Grand Rapids Motel 6.
The bicycle chain is about ready for replacement soon so I stopped by a bicycle shop and bought one.  In a discussion on a trail saw on my Michigan map, the shop owner gave me a slick magazine style brochure on bike trails in Michigan.  There is one that goes  most of the route I hope to cover tomorrow.  I'll let you know how it turns out.
