320 Miles...Done
Minneapolis to Ely by bicycle, 320 miles. The buns got a tad tender, but otherwise it was a dream trip. What a great ride! The first day was about 125 miles, the next two about 100 each. Here we are at the lift bridge in Duluth.
When we arrived in Ely, our first stop was the Chocolate Moose for pie. We hit this place twice during our stay. Killer rhubarb pie!
Saturday night we went to the Burntside Lodge for dinner, one of the top 1000 places to visit before you die...seriously. As we were leaving that night, we walked by the bar just as Michael Phelps was locking in his 8th gold medal. USA! USA! USA!
Ruthie, Pat's wife, made us some amazing food that we got to eat overlooking the lake from the deck of their cabin. Then we polished off each evening with stories by the fire.
