2006 Northwoods Bike Tour
Report by Greg
Ladwig
On Aug 24-27, a group of adventurous bike riders went on the
Northwoods Bike Tour. The ride took place in northern Wisconsin and the UP of
Michigan. Starting in Manitowish Waters, we biked to Land-o-Lakes, Long Lake,
Pembine, and Marinette.

The trailer shown in the pictures can hold
27 bikes. That's a good thing because each rider brought along a road bike and a
mountain bike.
We used the road bikes to pedal the paved portions of our route
and the mountain bikes to cross the more rugged, unpaved fire roads and
snow-mobile routes through the Nicolet and Northern Highlands National
Forests.
When we saw the trailer parked ahead of us
we knew it was time to change bikes (or have a beer)!
