Presentation Transcript

  1. BWCA Superior Tour Father Son 350 August 1 to 5, 2010 (Weather: 64F at 6:00 a.m.; 85F at 3:00 p.m.) Rich & Carl Hoeg http://www.northstarnerd.org/ Note: Milage shown is about 325 miles. We took a 25 mile shakedown ride the day prior to warm up and test gear!

  2. Echo Trail Orr Ely Hoyt Lakes Palisade Head

  3. Day 1: Duluth to Hoyt Lakes 66 miles Trip Directions: To avoid traffic, the route climbs out of Duluth Lakeside via 7 Bridges, Maxwell Road, Tischer Road, Jean Duluth Road, to Normanna Road which ultimately connects to Hwy #4 for the ride up to Aurora. Your last water stop / store till you reach Aurora is the Island Lake Inn!

  4. Day 2: Hoyt Lakes to Orr 70 miles +4 miles. Forget to turn my Garmin on after a photo stop! (blue section) Trip Directions: Take Hwy #135 north to Tower where you connect to US #169. Bike a few miles west on #169 till you reach County Road #77. Follow #77 north till you intersect with County Road #115 west. This route avoids biking tens of miles on US #169 and US #53.

  5. Day 3: Orr to Ely via the Echo Trail 71 miles Trip Directions: The Echo Trail starts at the only traffic light in Orr (County Road #23). Your first 20 miles will be paved, but be prepared for 36 miles of dirt road with grueling hills. Even when you reach pavement again 10 to 12 miles out of Ely, the hills get worse. Pack lots of water, and then extra water for your ride.

  6. Day 4: Ely to Palisade Head 64 miles Trip Directions: The ride down to Lake Superior along Hwy #1 is fantastic. Although you start your ride with a climb as you leave Ely, the last ten miles on Hwy #1 as you scream down the hills to Lake Superior makes it all worth while. A prevailing wind out of the West will push you even faster!

  7. Day 5: Palisade Head to Duluth (Lakeside) 58 miles Trip Directions: Follow Hwy #61 to Duluth. Make certain you do NOT go through the second tunnel (Silver Cliffs), but instead take the bike path which routes along the old highway out and over the cliffs. The view is stupendous!

  8. Rich and Carl Hoeg. Finished!

  9. A beer never tasted so good! We’re dipping our front tires in Lake Superior … Brighton Beach in Duluth to signify the end of our journey!
