I'm going to be in the Superior area next weekend. My DH & my best friend are doing the Burrito Union 10 hour triathlon, so I thought I'd go for a long ride. Starting from Pattison State Park, I want to do about 100 miles, preferably a loop, but out and back would work. Is anyone familiar with the roads around there? I know I could just take a map and go, but I'm hoping to end up on fairly decent roads. I tried Mapmyride, but it's acting goofy, and doesn't really indicate which roads are better anyway. I want to avoid 53 and other major roads, and want to stay in more rural areas, but beyond that I don't have much preference. The occasional roadside park with an outhouse, and occasional running water or convenience stores is all I need. Well, and a few moderate hills would be nice - looks like it is all fairly flat to the south?? Turns out my butt is happiest on long rides if I can stand for climbs once in a while.:rolleyes: Lots of turns would be fine - okay, preferable (need to incorporate variety if possible). Guess I'm pickier than I thought.:o
Any information would be appreciated - like I said, armed with a map and my computer, I can figure out a turnaround point to get the distance, if I just knew of a nicer route. Or if I knew of roads/areas to avoid.
Gotta like an adventure! :p Thanks!
