If you decide to ride across the Mackinac Bridge on a M/C, WEAR A HEAVY COAT AND FACE PROTECTION !!!!! It might be 90F on either end of the bridge, but 225' up in the air over the water, it's 40F. Couple that with a 25-35 MPH wind and it can be "bitterly cold" up there !!! The last time we went across on the Slingshot, it was a bright sunny day, we were in down vests, down coats, neck scarves and gloves. People in Mackinaw City thought we were NUTS.... But we didn't freeze "up there" .... Oh and if you do hit St Ignace, take US 2 west from town. About 5 miles west of McDonald's you'll find Letho's Pasty Shop. It's a "must do on any bucket list" !!!!! If you continue further west on US2, you'll run "adjacent to some of the world's nicest fresh water beaches. There are about 30-50 miles (I've never actually measured it) of white sandy beaches, all fresh water, all with available parking along the highway so you can stop, walk the beach, swim or picnic (with those pasties from Letho's) and enjoy Lake Michigan.
