This month hopefully. If you want to look up preliminary routes, check out the wild rivers trail from rice lake to superior wi. Then soo line from superior to Royalton MN. That's the first 200 miles

So just looking at google maps, are you planning to start the actual ride in rice lake? Or trailering from there to the trail head in superior? I assume the latter, but just wondering for joining up logistical planning.

Starting in rice lake, riding to superior, then jumping over to the Soo Line trail. Through MN. If you want to meet us in either place that would be cool.

This is cool. Does that mean that the first night is spent on a trail?

If I had to guess it's a bit of Wooderson from Dazed and Confused...

Precisely. As was he in the movie when he made this now famous quote.

Most likely. Somewhere on the Soo line most likely. Unless we can do 200 miles of off road trail the first day, then we can stay in Royalton, I'm not thinking we probably will make it that far day 1.

I would venture to guess you won't. I've ridden a fair amount of the upper end of the soo and if you are riding 85ish miles before you get to it, you may be ready to set up camp well before royalton. It's relatively smooth sailing, but with the trailers in tow as well, not sure how fast you'll want to cover ground in some areas.

94 miles is the wild river trail. Bright side is, if we make it to Royalton, there is a nice spacious parking lot that may have power. It is blacktop so probably no campfire the first night, but we will have plenty of time for that.

Oh I hear ya!

Good, cause I'd rather circle the wagons on the trail!
