In the normal cycling world it doesn't seem natural for a 104 mile day to be a "short" day, but today it was. A relatively flat, low wind, but hot muggy day. We made it to the destination hotel early so I took advantage of that and a large laundromat near by to do what should be the last wash of the trip. Hooray!! Seven clean kits and seven days to go. Midland is the county seat of...nothing, how about that. Chester Marcol is from here, ask a Packer fan if you don't know. The city is named after William H Imlay a Connecticut industrialist who invested in the area. Tomorrow we leave Michigan at about mile fifty and take a ferry into our second country of the trip, Canada, as we head for St Thomas in Ontario, Canada. All riders are packing passports.
