September Bike Trip 2014
Where- Western UP, mostly in the Keweenaw Peninsula, aka the “Copper Country”
When- Leaving early on Sunday, August 31- Returning either Saturday September 6 or Sunday September 7.
Format- Camping at state parks- Fort Wilkins, McClain and Twin Lakes. Spend a few days at Fort Wilkins and McClain. Drive vehicles between state parks. Unloaded loop rides of 40-50 miles each day on paved roads. On the way home, perhaps check conditions on a possible route for a self-contained ride next year.
What we will see?- Awesome Lake Superior Scenery, historic sights related to mining of copper in the 1800’s, Calumet, Houghton, Hancock
Terrain- Flat along the lakeshore. Fairly hilly inland, i.e. Brockway Mountain Drive.
Contact Ed Schultz if interested. We’ll have an organizational meeting early in August.
