Day Three of the Great Bike Trip to NYC: A long, good, hard day. Only one flat today, and it was mine. A patch later, we were good to go. Also, a slight correction on yesterday's post: we only rode 90 miles and got to Bronson, Michigan. So today, we made up the ten miles and then road another 90 to get to Ypslanti. We traversed many rolling hills in southern Michigan and couldn't have been more grateful to see the view from inside our hosts garage looking out onto a beautiful evening over the neighborhood. It's good to feel/be at a home, at least for one night.

Great to see you are progressing well, keep pedaling. I am going to work for the last day at my job today so just think, you have yet to start a permanent job and I am finishing one. I started at the phone company in the spring of 1973, 42 years ago. I have been blessed with a good job for many years. Not something everyone can say. Have a good ride today and stop having flats!
Wow, you're a full day ahead of schedule, and you covered 100 miles yesterday! Don't use up all your energy in the early days of your trip. Didn't realize southern Michigan had that many rolling hills. Pretty, I'm sure, but more taxing when pedaling, no doubt! Hope you fellas had a good night of rest at the Hoovers, and are rarin' and ready to go!
Wow. That's a pretty profound thought dad. Glad you finished well. Congrats! I hope I do too.
Thanks mom, it was a good rest at the Hoover's. It was a hard days riding after (now yesterday) but the rest was good and needed. We did 100 miles today too. It's not so bad when you get used to it.
