This ride would mark the longest ride to date for myself with over 45 miles and over 4,200 FT of climbing. The one thing that stuck out to me the most with this ride was that we are basically smack dab in the middle of city with a population of around 86,000 people. The ability to have an epic day ride right outside the back door of so many people is fascinating. The ride can be done in a few ways. You could start over at Mission Creek and make your way towards Lester Park. This route in my opinion is the route to take based on our experience. Or the opposite taking Lester over to Mission Creek. Or if you want to break up the ride and sample both directions stopping at Piedmont as the half way point you could do that as well. Or if you're looking for one crazy ride do a out and back both directions! The one thing I loved about this ride in particular is the optional trails you can include in your ride. For example you reach Piedmont why not take DM, B.O.B or another trail of your choice. Once you get your fix of DM then continue on the Duluth Traverse to the next trail system. Overall this was one of the most enjoyable rides I had done this year even though there were some very trying times with climbing I made it and what an experience!
The next time you find yourself in Duluth give the Duluth Traverse a go and you will not be disappointed!
