Detroit to Cleveland Day 1

Today was our first leg of the Detroit, Michigan (actually Wyandotte, a Detroit suburb) to Cleveland, Ohio bikepacking trip.

We left Wyandotte, a Detroit suburb, at 9:30 a.m. and rode 64 miles southwest over the course of 4 hours to Maumee Bay State Park in Jerusalem Township, Ohio. We averaged roughly 15.2 mph for the duration of the trip.

After a we set up camp and a short break, we headed out on a very short ride around the park to check out the sights.


Thanks to the good people at Eagles Nest Outfitters (ENO), I'll be sleeping in comfort and style tonight! If you're looking for a better (and lighter) option than carrying a tent on your next bikepacking (or backpacking) trip, I highly recommend picking up a hammock, bug net, and rain fly from ENO. To keep you warm at night, snag a top quilt and an under quilt!

Can't wait to wake up refreshed and ready to get back on the bike!
