Wow, it sure was nice to sleep in a comfy bed last night! We woke up feeling very well rested and then enjoyed a nice breakfast with our Warm Showers host. Once we were all packed and ready, we headed off down the bike trail that Al told us about. It sure worked out great being on the trail this morning because it was really foggy out. We had an early lunch at a Tim Horton's restaurant. We each got a large hot cocoa, had a few donuts and a chicken snack wrap, almost completely for free because of the gift card that Diane gave us back in ON. We rode down Pontiac Trail for quite a while today since it took us all the way to Ann Arbor. Riding into Ann Arbor was kind of funny because we were riding through the country almost all day and then BOOM, out of no where this big little city in the middle of know where appeared. We visited Ann Arbor for an hour or so, looked to see if we could find a Warm Showers for the night, and then continued on our way. It was a pretty hopping little city. Before strolling out of town, we rode past the Michigan University Stadium. As we rode further from the city, we were quickly back in the country. We rode for what seemed like forever. Eventually we met a woman who was in a church parking lot who gave us a pointer on where the nearest town was. So we continued on until we made it to the small town of Manchester. We found a park/ towns athletic fields where we set up camp. I decided to ride to find a bathroom before bed and ended up stopping at the little grocery store for a half gallon of moose tracks ice cream (I figured it was well worth it since we got a pretty good number of miles today). When I returned to camp, we made some Mac and cheese on ur stove and then enjoyed our ice cream before bed. Overall, it was another beautiful day where we got to be in shorts and our jerseys again and be comfortable. Still can't believe this weather we are having in March! We rode 81.83 miles today.
