..I took a tour of the Thumb here in Michigan-Bad Axe;Port Austin,Harbor Beach,Port Sanilac-almost 160 miles...BEE-YOOTIFUL day for a ride-in the 80's,nice wind-All those good smells that folks in cars miss-Fresh cut hay,straw being harvested;wildflowers along the road,campfires goin by the campgrounds-That IN-CREDIBLE fresh breeze coming off Lake Huron-Not to mention the IN-CREDIBLE views of the Lake stretching off to the horizon......OF COURSE,there IS a minus side to this:bugs splattering on my face (I only wear sunglasses);and I sure can tell Im gonna be 54 here in a couple weeks:Riding that far is painful for me-Back,shoulders,-From gripping the handlebars old Arthur-itis in my hands rears its un-welcome head....I got an air-cushion for my delicate rear-end,it only helps a little,though...HOWEVER:My total cost for the trip?? 
9 BUCKS FOR GAS....And I stopped and bought me some lunch to take home to prepare......Am I gonna quit riding ;you might ask;cause it hurts me after Ive been riding a while??
NOT GONNA HAPPEN,BABY-I just stop more often,and get off to give this almost 54Yr old carcass a rest...
