Default Daughter is bicycling Michigan to The Villages

She started in Ann Arbor and will be here next week, 950 miles in so far! Watch for her, she might be on the MMP.

Is she calling a motorcycle a bike? I bicycle can do 100 miles per day but doing it for 20 days-it is like 2,000 miles from Michigan to Florida that is a real feat

I just looked on a map and the one good thing she has going for her...is that it's downhill all of the way.




Seriously though, that's quite an adventure...and here's wishing her a safe trip.

The most she traveled in one day is 85 miles. Unlike a car she will stop for a few days if she is weary or wet from heavy rain.

She has visited a few friends so it is not a direct trip.

From a Law Enforcement standpoint, please tell her to stay safe. There are some real crazies out there today.

I agree and I think she is a bit nuts for doing this. As you know you can't tell your kids much after 13 or so. That said her risk is probably greater being hit by a vehicle.

How old is she? I assume she's more than 14.

Is she biking alone?

Yup. Just what I thought. She's nuts!
