Winds this morning were under 10 mph and out of the west, so 48\u00b0 did not feel like sub-0 temps, but close. \"\"<\/a> It was a nice ride this morning, but nothing really remarkable to see, \"\"<\/a>not even a barn. \u00a0Just a nice day to take a ride on a flat road. \u00a0We had several sections on busy roads, then sections on neighborhood trails.\"\"<\/a> In St. Claire \"\"<\/a>we got our first glance of the St Claire River\u00a0\"\"<\/a>and cannot believe the color.\"\"<\/a>But with a huge power plant and houses packed along the riverside, it is difficult to get a good photograph. \u00a0Our first potential stop for the day was Marine City at 48 miles. \u00a0Arriving just after noon, we decided to have lunch and talk about the rest of the day. \"\"<\/a> Naturally, we decided to go further. \u00a0We waited for the ferry\"\"<\/a> to take us across the river\/border\"\"<\/a>into Canada. \"\"<\/a> Here we rode along the river\"\"<\/a> with plenty of opportunities to take pictures;\"\"<\/a>just could not get enough of the Caribbean blue waters.\"\"<\/a>A special photograph for Bobby T.-the only person who will not<\/em> appreciate this swan.\"\"<\/a> Six miles from our final destination, we turned away from the river and saw our first Canadian barn….\"\"<\/a>…no different then across the border. \u00a0Our last few miles were finally<\/em> blessed with a tail wind. \u00a0Our short day ended up being 61 miles, we must stop doing this to ourselves.\n\t\t
