Riding with another member of the team creates great synergy. Ben drove up from North Carolina to visit family in Michigan and headed over to Holland to spend the day biking with me along the lakeshore. We had a good tailwind on the way down to South Haven (35 miles one way; actually 35.00 miles to be exact) averaging about 18 mph; we averaged about 14 on the way back but we got the 70-miler in. Temp was about 55, dropping somewhat the closer we got to that BIG body of water called Lake Michigan. We had some great views of the lake as well. To many, it looks as big as an ocean. You'll notice that we're still layered up. Ride on!

Nice!
You won't likely need any layers here (provided it isn't raining). Yesterday was just a short sleeved shirt and today will likely be the same (mid 80's is the forecast for this afternoon).
Hoping that this Saturdays ride will work out.
