I scheduled my tour to be about 2 weeks prior to all the color to avoid the leaf peepers and the numerous tour bus's. Here in Vermont our roads are not all known for good shoulders with room to roam. Bus's and log trucks can make for an exciting minute or two. It was an outstanding adventure. Looking forward to my next one. Upgrading pedals is my next move. Take care, Al

Had I been following you guys last year I could have hooked you up with our friends who live just across the lake from where you were swimming. I have ridden the Musketawa and several parts of the Fred Meijer Trails around GR. I worked for Meijer for 26 years and got to speak with Fred on many occasions. The stories I have are priceless he was a very generous man. If you every come back to the area I would be honored to ride some with you and take you to the Meijer Gardens here in GR.
