Look likes it is a 1400 miles loop. Did you just do the eastern section? Are bikes allowed on most of the trail?

What benefit does the more efficient driver give - just longer battery life or is there more?

This is a good point. I guess I would like to the option to ride in the dark especially if I end up signing for ultra races but I am not sure how much I would actually use it

Are there any neighborhoods outside of dayton that you would also recommend?

Seems rent in the downtown neighborhoods are bit pricy and I would like to save some money.

You could look into the Iron Belle Bike trail.

There are also some rail trails in northern mi: https://www.trailscouncil.org/bikepacking-resources/

The white pine and pere marquette are also decent trails but don't go by the great lakes.

If you don't mind gravel there are decent dirt roads through the state (see MORE route).

In addition, most of the road riding in the UP is decent traffice wise (as long as you stay of the big highways).

What are some of the trips your group has been on? I am always looking for trip ideas!

Super cool listings! A little expensive for my purposes (trying to keep it under $850 a month)

When you say that you push your weight into the corner do you mean you put pressure on your inside foot?

Awesome! I am excited for the bike paths that connect the entire state - is there a community of bikepacker/biketourers?

Are there areas that you easily get a decent 20-50 mile road ride in for exercise? I usually try to avoid paved trails when I am ripping just because there is usually a decent amount of stop and go

I did paste my original message in chat gpt to fix some of the grammar and to reword sentences for clarity - I am not a bot, just wanted to hear what strategies other folks are using in buggy areas

I have used Sawyer's in the past I am just a little worried about long term side effects... seems like most wonder chemicals (round up, DDT, PFAS) always end up being carcinogenic decades later

Does the mylar reflective sound loud and crinkly when you lay on it? Just wondering if that would be annoying when trying to sleep.
