Many of you know that Carl and I biked the BWCA Superior Tour this past August (Trip Report / Echo Trail Segment). It's been amazing over the past two months how many folks have asked ... will you arrange another ride next year, and can we get involved? The answers are ... yes and yes.
Most people seem to want to take a ride in the northern wilderness along the shores of Lake Superior. Thus, tonight, planning officially starts for the Trans-Superior Bike Tour which will take place during the Summer of 2011.
The distance from Sault St. Marie, Ontario to Duluth, Minnesota via the northern route (i.e. we won't go through Yooper Land) is approximately 625 miles. The tentative dates are Friday, August 5th to Monday, August 15th. My plan is to research hiring a commercial van / bus to drive us from Duluth to Sault St. Marie, Ontario. In addition, we would NOT have a van accompanying our ride. Participants would have to carry all their own clothes and repair gear. In my case that also includes a notebook computer! We would stay at small town motels every night.

OK, you're only doing this to tease me, right?
Rich responds: You did the lower peninsula this year ... move beyond to Canada next year!
