2014 Lake Superior Bike Trip

Get Ready!  We are taking another bike trip--pedals, not motors, starting Labor Day weekend.  Barb, Rebecca, Deb and Pat are all back for 2014!

This year we are driving to Hinckley, MN on Saturday, the 30th and camping in St. Croix State Park.  Our plan is a bit different this year as we will be staying a couple of nights in each place.  The bikers will head out from the site, making a loop or Barb will drive the bikers out for them to ride back.  The allows for less packing and unpacking the tents and supplies every day as well as giving the bikers options each day for rides as they do not have to "end up" at the next site!


On this map, St. Croix State Park, our starting point, is about 60 miles south of Superior.  We are camping for three nights and hope to also do some hiking in the area.  We will then head to Tofte, MN, on the north shore, for a night in a hotel.  Then, back down around the lake to Bayfield, WI for a couple of nights of camping.   We then head to northern Michigan by Hancock for two nights of camping at McLain State Park.  Finally, we end the trip by staying three nights in a log cabin by Minocqua, WI.  We might be able to do some fishing too!

So--follow along as Barb will update whenever possible, including pictures along the way.
