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 couldn't resist. Here's the view from my sleeping quarters for the night.
The next morning, breakfast was good, old-fashioned griddle cakes. Mass produced, of course.
Checking out the route before heading off.
I'm sure you're beginning to see that there were participants of all ages. This young man is leaving the camp site to start his ride for the day.
One thing I figured out quickly is most of the folks on the ride were very friendly. Here a couple women give me a smile and a wave as they head past Orchard Beach State Park right on the Lake Michigan shore.
You can't help look at the view as you ride past this point...
Now you can see what the previous rider was so interested in as these young men leave Orchard Beach behind.
These two women actually apologized to me for not waving as they road by.
Another nice gentleman passing along the Lake Michigan shore.
Lots of smiles from everyone. However, it's still pretty early and there a four sizeable hills coming up.
