I joined 150 other bicyclists for 6 days of cycling and camping. We did a loop around the eastern upper peninsula of Michigan doing 60 miles per day over flat terrain. We drove north from Ann Arbor across the Mackinac Bridge which separates Lake Michigan and Lake Huron and deposits us into the Upper Peninsula.
We ferried to Mackinaw Island and biked the perimeter and then did a loop visiting small towns and camping on the high school fields. Biked also along Lake Superior and cruised the flat terrain, the vanishing small towns and got into the lore of Great Lakes freighter shipping visiting museums, docked freighters, and famous shipwreck sites.
Camping doable and economical which leads to lots of commeraderie and cooperation among participants. Well organized and a great fun and new experience for me.
