Saturday, September 9 was the beginning of a weeklong bike ride to southern Indiana. I didn’t leave until early afternoon. Myra didn’t leave until after the MSU football game.

The first night’s destination was the KOA campground at Middlebury, IN I had done the same ride back in July when the temperatures were in the mid 90s. That time I took a lot of breaks. This time the temperatures were cooler. I took one long break at Mendon, where I stopped and took photos of the old Marantette bridge (near the old trading post) and then stopped at the park by the “new” bridge where I heated water on my alcohol stove for soup and coffee.

Marantette Bridge, Mendon

I turned on my lights for the last few miles. I got to the campground before Myra did, which is something that hardly ever happens. We were fortunate to have a place to camp. I always avoid the Niles-South Bend area on football weekends, but it turned out that even at Middlebury there were overflow campers from Penn State.

63 miles for the day.
