Holland – Union Pier
90 Miles
Ride Data
After a huge meal the night before and a steady rain lulling
me to sleep (not to mention the 800 miles in my legs) I slept like a baby. Today was Saturday and I awoke to a group of
people getting ready for a running event outside by the lake. I had slept with the window slightly open so
I could hear the rain falling. Now as I
laid in bed listening to the racket I wished I’d closed the window. Finally I got myself up and shut the window
but I couldn’t go back to sleep. There
were only two days left and I was excited to get going. After a huge breakfast of Belgian Waffles
made with Fred’s special recipe I packed up and got ready to head out for my
second to last day.

After a nice walk on the beach I returned to the hotel and laid
down for a nap. Heather came to meet me
at around 7pm and we went out for dinner. We found a sports bar and I had a
beer which tasted pretty good. But I was
so tired it was all I could to do eat and make it back to the hotel before
crashing out for the day. Tomorrow would
be my last day on the road.
Final sunset on the road. You can see the Chicago skyline just on the horizon |
