23.63mi Kal-Haven Trail Grand Junction to South Haven MI w/ Tom & Jim

Ride#1752 YTD Road 1,341mi
YTD Combined 1,873.55mi
Odo Blue Thunder 4,041mi
Tom, Jim, and I hauled our bikes to Grand Junction Michigan to test the newly resurfaced Kal-Haven Trail. The fine crushed limestone was definitely better than the cattle path it was before. But it was soft and slow going most of our route to South Haven. I rode my 29" MTB Blue Thunder, Jim and Tom rode their fat tire bikes. We also were not conditioned for a long gravel ride. We did overcome and reached our goal of going out on South Haven's north pier into Lake Michigan. That is the biggest highlight of the ride. This was a test to see if we wanted to go again with more Bikin Bros. The three of us have mixed feelings because of it being a tough ride. We did agree that the ride was EPIC, despite its drawbacks. Stay safe everyone!
