day 74 75

74
another time change in michagian, had us waking up at 9:30 instead of our usual 8:30. Scrambling to pack up our gear before a camp staff member finds us camped out in the middle of a trail, we got ready to hit town for breakfast and figure out just how many days Minneapolis put us back on our shcedual. Splitting up, three of us went to subway, our usaul breakfast stop, while Hank and Beau went to a nearbye cafe for a good homemade omlete. Since we took a more straight shot through wisconsin, we have nbeen off the planned Adventure cycling planned route. Grateful to be back on the maps for they took away the stresses of finding good roads to ride on, where to camp, the nearest town, and bike shop, we took a look at just how many miles we have left to accomplish. 1300 miles are ahead of us, not alot since we have already acomplished 3000. Deciding to take a nice break in Ludington we stayed at the cafe for about 2 hours, and then hoped over to the nearest bar for a couple of beers and blog. On our way a cyclist passed us and turned around to talk, we all scrambled away, tired of the same constant questions and answers. Evan got traped as she started to talk about how she sttempted to conqure the southern tier, but quite with hopes to try it agian. Offering us dinner, we declined because we needed to catch up on our blog, she quickly starterd to dig into her backback and pullked out money for us, Evan said it was to much and that we were fine on money. She insistied on helping fellow bikers and told us she was buying us a beer. We gave in and headed to the Blue Moon tavern for our beers and homework(Blogging). They bartender, a very friendly freespoken woman demanded that she was to be put into our blog. Here you go Annette, thank you for the laughs and the beers! We found the local beach and great place to sleep. Right on the beach by the ocean like lake and under the bright stars, we made a nice temperpedic bed out of the sand and drifted to sleep with the waves crashing onto eachother.

Once again we woke up late...This time 11'oclock. Minneapolis still has her claws on us, we decided to stay one more night in Ludington, hoping to finish the blog, venture through town and go swimming. Visiting the same restraurnats, the same stores and riding through the same streets we headed for the lake. Today's weather made for a great day to take a dip. Running through the sand like a group of teenage girls, giggling and pushing eachother we jumped into lake and amazed by the tides. Body surfing and wave jumping for a couple of hours got a little tiring. Hungry, we headed to grab lunch. Devoring our meals in no more than 5 minutes we decided to call it a day and sleep on the beach once agian.
