yesterday morning I hit the road at 7:30, I was thinking about riding to Dalton, il. but unsure. it was either in the low 50's or high 40's, I didn't check the temp before leaving out. I took m-39 south then I-94 west, not much traffic on either expressway and 148 miles later I arrived in mattawan, mi. and refueled. I decided not to ride to Dalton even though I was about halfway there. I took I-94 east back to us-131 and kalamazoo, mi. then headed north to grand rapids, mi. there was a bit more traffic and the temp was climbing but still a nice ride so far. I took I-96 east and stopped at the Saranac rest area to take a break and eat some food I had taken with me, that killed about and hour. I kept going east on I-96 and traffic got heavy around lansing, mi. plus I had a gusty head wind. I stopped in Williamston, mi for fuel but the tanker was there refueling the station so I only put $5.00 worth in the tank before getting back on the road. I took us-23 south and exited at whitmore lake rd. to fill the tank. I took m-14 east and merged back on I-96 and made my way home . my first ride of 2015 was 370 miles
