Upper Midwest Route Suggestions
Hey,
I am new to the forums and new to touring. Me and some friends have done some short, spontaneous tours this summer (2-7 days of leisurely biking, sleeping in parks under the stars) and are planning to do an extended tour in summer 2009.
Originally, we had planned to bike from Minneapolis to Seattle via the Northern Tier Route and then take a train or plane back to Minneapolis. However, we are looking at some other options.
I am looking a door-to-door tour about one month long, with good cycling routes and many options for camping, motels and food. We are planning for a fully supported tour, but it would be nice to have city options for convenience. I was thinking about circumnavigating Lake Superior or doing a Great Lakes loop.
Does anyone have any route information, websites, maps?
Thanks for the help

Here is a link to website that you might find useful. It describes the Great Lake Circle Tour, which includes a trail around Lake Superior: https://www.great-lakes.net/tourism/circletour/
There are links to lots of other sites that you might find of interest at my website, listed below in my signature.
