Cindy's trip to Mackinac Island

This what you get to do when you work for the best running shoe store on earth. The owner of the company takes small groups to his cottage on Mackinac Island. Located between Michigan's peninsulas, it's the largest car-free city in the country (or something like that).

I won't go into details of the trip since I wasn't there, but it was a team-building and company history and company philosophy education sort of thing. It was pretty short, but nice. They left Wednesday morning, drove up and took the passenger ferry over, spent the night in the cottage, and came home the next day.

Car-free! We'll be going there on the first day of the MUP with our tandems.

So this is the ferry ride...


This is the Mackinaw Bridge that links the upper and lower penisulas of Michigan. How many ways can you spell "Ma-Ki-Na?"


Bikes everywhere...


Rental bikes on the island all have fenders because the roads are shared with horses. Hmmm, figure that one out...
