Next year I will have a GoPro and there will be riding pictures.  The WR250F is excellent.  GPS track following is easy with a few turn-arounds.  My trailer worked great.  Boulder Junction WI area has lots of GPS mapped adventures.  Thank you Cannon Shot

My first year of going the week AFTER the event.  Quiet campground.  Ridden trails. Cold beers.  Blazing fire.  Neil Peart on cell phone books.  WI cheese snacks.  Thoughts to myself.  

Relaxing van drive has other perks like a cooler full of MPLS beer and ice, as well as campground now with multiple gear and clothes staging areas with the lift-back and two sliding doors.  Rather than the things in my saddle bags laid out on the picnic table.  I don't want to understate the cooler... 

Welcome WR. In the previous 4 DR years,  I rode the bike there,  once straight from Minneapolis with Chris L,  twice after around Superior first, and once after Duluth-Copper Harbor. And then attended the event.  This time all physical and mental energy saved

 That's me on the right.  3 days is 27 miles.  4.5 each way


 This is the same bike frame I have.  Maeve's bike.  Didn't know what it was before I saw this.  Ross  Amazing over built early mid late 80s frame.  Gusseted joints.  Nothing but a serial stamp under the  BB. Full polished silver.  Lugged fork.  Thank you Full Cycle
