Circle Tour Ride

[hunts4beer]

You won't find a more adventurous and scenic ride then the Lake Superior Circle Tour. I did it in 2007 with a group of 5 other bikers (affectionately known as the Mild Hogs) and had a blast. This 1800 mile ride will take you all the way around the world largest fresh-water lake following the picturesque shoreline through Minnesota, Ontario, Michigan, and Wisconsin. We took seven days to truly enjoy the scenery but if you pushed it a bit you could shorten the ride.

There's even a website dedicated to this ride. Once you complete the ride you can order a Circle Tour pin for your leather.

Here's a link to the photos from our Circle Tour ride on the Mild Hogs website:

My favorite Circle Tour stops:

Split Rock Lighthouse

Grand Marais (Oly & Svens for pizza)

Sleeping Giant Provincial Park (spend a whole day visiting this beautiful park east of Thunder Bay)

White River, ON (birthplace of Winnie-the-Pooh, you can laugh but you'll stop for a photo)

Wawa, ON (cute little Canadian town)

Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum (visit the Edmund Fitzgerald display)

 

As a sidenote, I rode all five great lakes in 2008 from SE Minnesota to Niagra Falls and back and found the Circle Tour ride much prettier.
