From the Magazine: A Cycling Guide for Minnesota’s North Shore

Adventure Cycling’s guide spotlights Minnesota’s North Shore as a premier bikepacking corridor, highlighting the 86‑mile paved Gitchi‑Gami State Trail and a network of hidden gravel roads in Superior National Forest. The guide features Jeremy Kershaw’s iconic 105‑mile Heck of the North race and two detailed routes—a 27‑mile beginner loop and a 132‑mile intermediate multi‑day trek. It also lists local amenities, from campgrounds to eateries, and advises travelers on timing and logistics. The piece positions the region as an emerging destination for cyclists seeking rugged, scenic terrain.
