DAY 38: Today we went from a Hayes State Park in Michigan, Southeast Michigan, to Maumee Bay State Park in Ohio, just to the north and east of Toledo. We actually went through Toledo during our 60 mile day. It was nice. The sun was up the whole day, but it was very windy. In fact, it was so windy. I think this is my slowest day took five hours to go 60 miles that normally takes me four hours. No problem, but today, it was very windy. But it was nice and it was dry. So I was happy.

Day 37 Update: We biked from West LeRoy, Michigan which is by Battle Creek to Southside Battle Creek, to a state park which is across the lake. They were close so we were going to camp there, but instead we are at Evans Lake Resort - nice guys. So we have a nice little cabin, got to take a nice warm shower which was nice because we had the coldest start to our mornings, it was 30 degrees when we started, didn't get warmer than about 45 and it was misty all day so it's kind of a cool day but a good day for biking. It was kind of like biking through the woods, lots of wooded areas small pasture land and then we got down here and it was a little bit more lake. So pretty good ride, cool ride. Enjoyed the day. So be sure to push that like button and don't forget to donate to the fellowship guys.

Day 36: Welcome, everybody. Glad you're tuned in. We biked from New Haven, Michigan to West Leroy. And I picked West Leroy because the middle name of my new segue driver Thomas Leroy Starks and  I went to school together. Actually, he was working on his PhD and I worked with him as a student in the lab. So we go back a long ways. It was a cold start to the day - 40 degrees, but it warmed up to the mid 50s beautiful sunny day in contrast. Nothing but rain yesterday, so we had a nice fall bike ride through Western Michigan. Hopefully we won't get rained tomorrow. So keep tuning in, press that like and don't forget that I'm doing this for raising money for fellowship programs.
