Below is a basic thought of rides.

We arrive on Sunday, ride around the area.

Monday, March 9, we plan on riding north past Grand Marais up the Gunflint Trail. We will return to Tofte that evening.  Mileage, ~150+  Figure a 9:30 A.M. departure time. This means you are fueled, oiled, packed & ready to go.

Tuesday March 10, we will head to Tower MN. For the night. This is a backpack trip. Mileage each way: About 150.   Let figure a departure time of 10 A.M. on Tuesday morning.

Wednesday, March 11, we head back to Tofte.  Lets figure a departure time of 10 A.M.

Thursday, March 12, we depart for home.

 

Other Information:

There has been some interest in members riding from Duluth or other towns along the north shore. I would strongly suggest knowing current conditions of the North Shore Trail b/4 you go if you’re planning this trek.

If you plan on this, You may want to think about another club member that is not planning on this leg to haul up your luggage. Also, Be aware of the mileage vs. time involved. Its up to you to coordinate w/ other club members.  Communication will be key here.

This trip was designed to accommodate all members. You don’t have to put on 200 miles per day,  You don’t have to go all the days. You don’t have to go to Tower. If you plan on not going to Tower yet wish to stay thru the 11th, You will need to make reservations for Tuesday.  Basically, You can come & go as you please. You could even go ski Lutsen!

If your single or looking for a spot on a trailer or a roomie, You will need to communicate with other club members going. We will have a club meeting prior to this trip. If your still looking, You may want to make it a point to attend the meeting to firm things up. Don’t wait till the last minute.

If you have any questions about the trip, Please feel free to call me  612-750-3706 after 7:00 p.m. please.
