A cautionary tale.

The ambulance pulled up alongside this little bridge as I approached it.  Two bikers had crashed out on the slippery surface of the boardwalk, and one of them was still down.  She'd landed on her hip and couldn't move, I was told by her riding companion, so she'd called 911.  I watched as they loaded her on the stretcher, then I continued on, bypassing the slippery bridge.


This was about a mile from the Port Sheldon Party store -- I took the photo on my return trip.  It really was too wet to ride today.


It was quite a bit warmer and sunnier a couple of days ago when I biked into downtown Holland to check out the Tulip Time festivities.  The trees and the tulips attract a lot of tourists, most of them with cameras.


I understand that there are a couple of tourists crossing Michigan today -- and the 5 mile long bridge that connects the UP with the Mitten.  On their way to the Hockey Hall of Fame, I believe.  In Canada.  I look forward to some fresh bloggable material.

Be careful out there. Those slippery surfaces can be a nasty surprise.

The tulips are looking pretty again this year. Spring is welcome.
