Upon reaching Gooseberry, we found a large group of cyclists
Nice folks all, but in slightly different mode, i.e. lots of rearview mirrors, kickstands, panniers and bags. We rode the trail north to Beaver Bay, then left the regular route and took Highway 15 north west to Sullivan Lake, then Highway 2 south to Two Harbors and a second stop at the Mocha Moose, before heading back down the shore for our planned 125 miles.
Lessons learned:
- we've got some beautiful stretches of road (Hwys 2 and 15) just outside of our normal riding range.
- if you want to cover a lot of ground fast on your bike, take Dave and Jim along with you.
- having some company for the first 30 miles was wonderful - thanks Heidi and Jeff!
Monday morning we'll be at the church for our last week of 6am starts!
Congratulations you guys. Well done and very impressive.
