Houghton to Marquette

Route included 30 miles of gravel and sand!

Stiff headwinds and crosswinds made riding difficult. Steep hill in Houghton brought me to this splended Victorian courthouse.
After L’Anse wind became a tailwind, which aided me in getting to my campsite at “Big Erick’s Bridge” across the Huron River.
Riding on gravel with a loaded bike on skinny tires is really challenging. Especially when the road was more sand than gravel!

Strava Link Test

I’d set up my Ride with GPS app to automatically synch a ride to my Strava app.

So far, so good! Now I wanted to know how to put a Strava Activity link into my WordPress blog post. I tried sharing directly from Strava to WordPress and that didn’t work. So I asked my son Brian to show me. It didn’t work for him either. But he showed me a simple copy-and-paste workaround.

And the Strava Link below the map at the top of this post is the happy outcome! Click it and you’ll be able to view my route for that day, key stats, photos I took, and comments I added. That way you can stay up-to-date on where I am and how my bike tour is progressing.

Enjoy! Even post a comment to the blog post if you feel so inclined. We’re all in this together!
