Riding over the Mackinac Bridge with a wicked cross breeze
from Robert C Slayton - Grief to Joy and Inspiration · host Robert C Slayton
This was my first time riding a motorcycle over the Mackinac Bridge. This bridge is 5 miles long and is the 7th longest suspension bridge in the world. There was a wicked cross breeze coming right to left. You'll see that as I try to hold my line. Then when I went behind a tower, there was an eddy blowing the opposite direction. Once I was 2/3 of the way from the upper peninsula to Michigan, the temperature jumped 10 degrees immediately. It was like entering a furnace. This is off my camera system which is actually designed in case there is an accident vs getting great footage.Frankly, it needs a music background (but I don’t know how to do that).Robert’s Substack is a reader-supported publication.
