Biking Across the U.S (hopefully)
Hillsdale - Kalamazoo 72
Holy smokes, so many farms. I mean I get it... it's Michigan/the Midwest, but come on! It was mainly backroads and highway riding that interworked into a grid. So whenever a paved road turned gravel it was pretty easy to find an alternative route. For about 5 miles of the route I got to ride an almost abandoned road due to a couple "road closed" signs. I rode in the middle, on the right side, did some zigzags... and pulled off to water some trees wherever I wanted. It was awesome. I think when I get back to Durham I'm going to invest in a couple of those signs and put them up whoever I feel like riding. People didn't second guess them... they just turned around. I followed a winding path that ran right along the Kalamazoo river into, well, Kalamazoo. I found the cheapest motel since it was storming all night. Out and about on town I learned it's totally a crack/prostitution flop house. I woke up the next morning alive (thankfully).
