Tour Da Yoop, Eh!

Manistique to St Ignace

Due to time constraints, we drove 80% of the planned route, riding only the final 23 miles. It was a truly magical ride!

Lissa and Jude Join the Journey

Lissa and Jude arrived during the night! They’d flown from Austin to Milwaukee early Friday, picked up their new RV, and then driven it to Manistique.

We visited over a lazy, late breakfast.
Then we worked all afternoon prepping the van for our trip.
Lissa worked on the van’s interior while I puzzled through a way to securely carry three bikes on it’s front end.
It was early evening by the time we found lunch at a delightful Independence Day Festival in Manistique.
At last, we set out on a shakedown drive to St Ignace.

Honoring the Route

Even though we’d blown our chance to ride all of my concluding TDY segment, I suggested we drive the intended route to see what we’d missed.

As we neared St Ignace we looked for a good place for Jude and me to start riding the final leg of my Tour Da Yoop route.
Lissa drove our support van.
It was a sunset ride with a spectacular finish at Mackinac Bridge that capped off a wonderful day of teamwork!
