8/9 After biking 5 miles across the town of Jackson we ate a delicious breakfast
of granola, vanilla yogurt, and blueberries. When we got to the Meijer grocery store the ATM
promptly swallowed Lydia's debit card, but by the time everyone was sunscreened and ready to go the ATM spat the card back up. We rode a solid 40 miles to Ann
Arbor where we had a tasty lunch bought from food trucks and finished the remaining donuts from Kalamazoo. We left Ann Arbor on the pleasant Plymouth
Road/Ann Arbor Trail, which took us all the way to the outskirts of Detroit. The roads into Detroit required intense group cohesion and calling out
hazards, but we made it to the Extended Stay America hotel where we cooked a delicious meal of beef, onions, peas and rice on the complimentary
kitchenettes. Finally we settled down for a good night's rest before the next
day's ride into Canada.
