Re: Circum-Lake-ations

Do Lakes Superior, Michigan and Huron count as "major lakes"?  They are all
bikeable.  Even I managed it.  Superior is easily the most difficult of the
three, besides being the longest. (1300 plus miles vs 925 for Michigan and
850 for Huron - less if you cut off the Georgian Bay.)  Hills, a few
marginal stretches of road with heavy truck traffic, and frequent long
distances between towns and services (e.g. there are significant areas where
no cell phone service is available.) all contribute to this conclusion.
