The next Bike the Heart ride is coming up this Saturday, Sept. 14, at 10 a.m.
The ride will start from the Grand Portage National Monument Heritage Center parking lot. The Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, Grand Portage National Monument, and Grand Portage State Park sponsor it.
This 17-mile ride starts out on the shores of Lake Superior and includes beautiful forests, hills and rugged semi-mountainous terrain at the tip of Minnesota’s Arrowhead. The ride also includes a section of the Grand Portage village, then turns inland for a climb up to Old Highway 61, followed by a descent to the Pigeon River valley and the site of the old border crossing, then through a gravel forest road then onto pavement before arriving back on the Lake Superior shoreline.
