I have some vacation coming at the end of this month. Personally, I'd just as soon take it some other time but the boss is closing shop for his vacation so I get a week off. I am planning on spending this and a silmiliar week in July getting some long training days in. July is set, I'll be in Traverse City riding hills and swimming in Lake Leelenau. What I need is some ideas for a place to train for a couple of days in late march.

My criteria, budget for this doesn't exist so I'm probably gonna be camping. Should be resonable driving distance from mid michigan or in mid michigan. Some good rides and runs in area, not worried about swimming yet this year. Oh yeah did I mention cheap. Any ideas? I'm drawing a blank mostly because the weather could be anything, and i don't know how far south I could afford this time of year.
