Today started out rather cool at 52 degrees with little wind. By the time I reached Mackinaw City it was 69 degrees with a west wind of 10 mph. There was only one tough climb today with a 12% grade. The rest were manageable and not topping more than 6%.
I’ve biked the route from Harbor Springs to Mackinaw City many times, but this time I noticed the roads were pretty awful once past Cross Village. If I were using my C2C scoring of road conditions, it would have varied from 1-3. However, the Tunnel of Trees more than made up for it with a 9-10!
Coming upon Good Hart and not seeing the normal set up that the DALMAC has was a little eerie. We biked by relatively early in the day and nothing was open. With the DALMAC ride, a full meal set up with barbecue is going. Even Legs in Cross Village was still closed when I biked by.

Just past Good Hart I saw this deer. Sorry for the blurry image.
