Connecting ACA Routes / Re: Michigan Hiway 23 to Mackinac bridge

« on: February 18, 2009, 09:00:51 pm »

It's me again planning my 09 NT ride. Instead of going across Mi. to Luther then up to Mackinac bridge what is hiway 23 like from just north of Bay City to the Mac. bridge. Traffic, shoulders, etc.. I'll be coming from Port Heron, Mi. using the Lake Erie connector,
Thanks for your help.

Hello Fred:  It's Neil from Oshkosh.  If you get a chance as you traverse Michigan, ride  MI 119 from Harbor Springs to the bridge.  The road is narrow, no shoulders, trees grow right to the edge of the black top but it is very pretty. Traffic moves slowly.  I have ridden it many times just for fun.  My son lives near there.  Enjoy your cross country ride in '09.
Stop in Good Hart or Cross Village for a pasty.  Great food eaten by the miners in the old days.  Still on the menu in small delis.
