When I woke up this morning at 7:30 to the sounds of rain I convinced myself today would be a basement riding day. But the rain stopped and by 10:00 I was heading out to the Macomb Orchard Trail. My first time on this 23+ mile trail and it was great! Of course finding parking in Richmond at the trail head was impossible due to the Richmond Good Ole Days parade so I wound up parking a few miles up trail and backtracked on the bike to make sure I got to see the whole thing. I think I will rate it tops on my rails-trails list so far. The nature around the trail is beautiful, the length of the trail allows for a non-repetitive ride and it has a hill! I still like Wadhams for the convenience of it as well as the beautiful scenery, and Fort Gratiot is great for the three of us to ride together since it is such a short trail.
I went for 52 miles in 4 hours today so I think my 8-8.5 hour goal for my 100 is reasonable as long as I don't stop too long for lunch.
