Michigan, Kal-Haven Bike Trail

The best rides are the ones where I can talk some friends into coming along.  Jay and Jan joined Mona and I for an apple picking weekend in South Haven, MI.  South Haven has a number of nice biking opportunities including the Kal-Haven Trail.

Noooo!

The weather was unusually nice for late October.

Turn-around point: Bloomingdale, MI

Jay was so wiped out by the ride he declined to come out for dinner.  We were a reluctant to leave him alone as he was barely responding to our questions.  Uneasy, we decided to go out for dinner and bring Jay back a carry-out pizza.  As we left the rental house, Jay called to us, "Get it with pepperoni!"  

"He's going to be OK," we laughed.  In the end, I think he was just dehydrated.  After dinner we celebrated with a fire at the beach and we all learned why Mona shouldn't drink too much.  Hint: totally out of control.
