I had a great opportunity to accompany by brother-in-law Dave Sheldon and his friend Gary Braun for a couple days during the League of Michigan Bicyclists' Shoreline West Bike Tour. It started in Pentwater and over the next seven days, they rode all the way up to Mackinaw City. That's 569 miles if you did the whole ride.
I stopped by on Sunday where they camped in Manistee and followed them for the day up to Benzonia. It was a gorgeous day for a scenic ride and I met a lot of nice folks.
This gallery documents my time with the group. For those of you I met on the ride, I have a gallery of alternate takes here that you can check out for a photo of yourself.

I arrived at their campsite - The Gathering Grounds of Little River Band of Ottawa Indians just north of Manistee - just as most of the folks were setting up camp.
Here's Dave's buddy Gary relaxing in his tent as we wait for dinner to be served up.
That's Dave. He busted a couple spokes on the first day and went over to the repair trailer to see about picking up some replacements. The woman standing next to him is the wife of the repairman. According to him, she's the one in charge of the shop.

Northwestern Michigan is White Pine Country. These forests were almost completely decimated by logging 100 years ago, but conservation efforts have restored a lot. Here, they make a good bike rack.

It was quite the little tent city by the time everyone was set up.
