Road trip of a lifetime?! We agree... makes a heckuva good section of the Lake Superior Circle Tour, too!

It's just the wee start of the leaf peepin' season-- makes for a great time of year to Visit Cook County MN and to love up Lovin' Lake County, MN!

Minnesota's North Shore Scenic Drive is the only route in the entire state with the designation as an All-American Road.

Congrats to the Mesabi Trail on their Ribbon Cutting Day for a completed trail! The Mesabi Trail is longest paved trail in Minnesota. We know what an impact a paved trail makes for the communities along the trail corridor, to those who live in those communities, and to those who visit!

You know how they say it takes a village to raise a child? We know it's true, but it's also true that it takes a village to help support the advancement of a great state trail on our greatest lake!

We'd love to give a shout out to all the business sponsors who support our work! Business sponsors provide sponsorship at $250 or more per year that help us support, promote, and work alongside our partners at the Minnesota DNR and Minnesota DOT to see the dream of this trail become a reality, one trail segment at a time. Their support helps us hold events on the trail, too!

Thanks so much to all who made our Annual Ride a great success this year! We'll tag our business sponsors in the comments, and you can learn more about them on our website here:

Do you have your eye on a great Gitchi-Gami Bike Jersey? We had our prototype out at our Gitchi-Gami Trail Association's 26th Annual North Shore Bike Ride & Roll and lotsa folks thought it looked great. We do, too!

This is our first time working with a local vendor to produce a bike jersey that features our new logo!

These jerseys are for sale for $50 ($55 for sizes larger than 2XL) + $15 for shipping.

Please note you might see tax listed but if you live a state like Minnesota that does not tax apparel, taxes will be removed manually from our great partner at American Solutions for Business.

Our "Jersey Store" is open for one month only! Make your purchase at our link below, and then when the store "closes" there will be a couple weeks for fabrication, and jerseys will be drop-shipped right to your address in late September/early October!

Look great out on the trail, and support our work while you are at it! Win-Win! Wouldn't these make a great holiday gift for your favorite trail partner?
