Today had beautiful weather all day, and we were on smooth pavement for virtually the whole day. A great ride!</p> <p>We got a late start this morning, which was part of our plan. We checked out of Lansing hotel at 10:57 with three minutes to spare, then we headed to "REO Town" for lunch. REO Town is the former location of the REO Motors factory. Now, it's got a small commercial strip with some restaurants and shops. All but one were closed for the holiday today. We had some pretty good BBQ and ice cream, and headed out of town.</p> <p>There's an extensive system of trails in and around Lansing, and the ride out of town was great. We hit one snag: a river had overflowed its banks and covered a few inches of the path where it went under a highway. I decided to ford it, but Marna portaged around. This actually worked out well for me, since the water cleaned off a lot of Saturday's dried mud from my rims and shoes.</p> <p><a href="https://blog.tomandmarna.org/images/20260525_115844.jpg"><img alt="Leaving Lansing" src="https://blog.tomandmarna.org/images/20260525_115844.thumbnail.jpg"></a> <a href="https://blog.tomandmarna.org/images/20260525_120903.jpg"><img alt="River trails in Lansing" src="https://blog.tomandmarna.org/images/20260525_120903.thumbnail.jpg"></a> <a href="https://blog.tomandmarna.org/images/20260525_123005.jpg"><img alt="Flooded path" src="https://blog.tomandmarna.org/images/20260525_123005.thumbnail.jpg"></a> <a href="https://blog.tomandmarna.org/images/20260525_123113.jpg"><img alt="Footrprints" src="https://blog.tomandmarna.org/images/20260525_123113.thumbnail.jpg"></a> <a href="https://blog.tomandmarna.org/images/20260525_123224.jpg"><img alt="Marna goes around" src="https://blog.tomandmarna.org/images/20260525_123224.thumbnail.jpg"></a></p> <p><a href="https://blog.tomandmarna.org/posts/leg-3-ride-4-lansing-to-stockbridge/">Read more…</a> (7 min remaining to read)</p></div>https://blog.tomandmarna.org/posts/leg-3-ride-4-lansing-to-stockbridge/Mon, 25 May 2026 23:02:38 GMT
