Biking 1:32:18 14.62 mi (9.5 mph) +152m
ahr:120 max:145 shoes: 2015 Camber
Glanced at the map and saw that "always turn right" worked for what I wanted, which did not account for the +4 miles that added of xc ski trails (not on all of the trail maps) so I skipped at bit at the end to make up time.
Also I should not have inverted my bike to attempt to pack it in the car, as I haven't gotten whatever air is in the lines out and the back brake is as weak as my fitness.
Good times, would love to ride this more than twice per decade.

Yesterday's line o exercise: took Harvey to a beach, he took his sandals off, then at one point he was kicking wet sand at me, three polite requests to stop = me hauling him back off to the car. I put his sandals on top of the car while I strapped him...and forgot about then. Realized it when we got back to the hotel. NO no no.
Dropped off spouse and son, then drove back. They were only three minutes from the hotel, but at the longest line in the lower peninsula, so it was a 20 some minute operation. They had almost made it all the way back, until I finally went fast enough to blow them off. Phew! Glad they were easy to locate.

2/3rds of the total dune climb, half with 35 lbs of cargo. Not the cargo’s bag, at least not today.
5 PM
Walking 5:31 [3] 0.36 mi (15:20 / mi)
A couple items from Meijer..it is possibly faster to walk than drive and park and walk in, if you don't mind stepping over a low guardrail.

Biking (Wheelies) 35:49 [1] 3.1 mi (5.2 mph)
ahr:123 max:144 shoes: 2015 Camber
Tried to do some wheelies around the farm trails, but oof that's hard, between the bumps, weird camber, narrow tire grooves, then you have sand and mud which will only spin instead of helping you pedal hard to save a wheelie. I did pop out to a gravel road and bust a quality quarter miler...if I hadn't hit the T I could have gone longer I think, but I couldn't make the corner.
One minor crash trying to do a wheelie down a really steep grass slope and finding out the back brake needs a bit more bit. No harm done. Definitely not as much harm as kicking the pedals to spin them back to get on and leaving my shin in the way, oops.
