Okay, it was probably a beautiful day for just about anything -- warm, sunshine and light winds.
We had an 8:30 load this morning. Dave O'Dell and I then had breakfast at a nearby Perkins. We've ridden together during various legs of the North ride during the past two years. Dave is from Syracruse and will have completed the full ride when we arrive in Niagra Falls.
I've had an opportunity to meet many of the riders in the last two days, although I'm not doing very well with names yet. There are riders from all over the United States as well as the Netherlands. I should be able to get to know many of them better as we start riding in earnest tomorrow.
The wedding was small and beautiful -- held at the Red Arrow city park. The bride's father and step-mother and a few other family members were there. Following the ceremony, bikers rode to the ferry to board for the trip to Luddington.
The SS Badger has been in service since 1953, originally designed to transport rail cars between Manitowoc, Milwaukee and Kewaunee, Wisconsin. With the decline of the rail industry, it was converted to transport leisure passengers and vehicles between Manitowoc and Luddington, May through October. It makes two round trips per day. The trip took around four hours, complete with television, movies, and Badger Bingo!
Tomorrow we go to Mt Pleasant, Michigan. It'll be a long day in the saddle, and time to see if all the training has paid off.
