Day 1 - sailing with the wind

On Monday there was a strong tail wind as we set out from Calvin College for the Sleepy Hollow State Park. I averaged 17.l miles an hour and traveled the 69 miles in about four hours of biking time.

We had a great snack stop at the Lowell Christian Reformed Church and they had some of my favorites: breakfast casserole and brownies.

That night the woods were alive with a chorus of insects. It had been quite some time since I have slept in a tent and the excitement of the journey kept me awake for some time.
