Duluth Minnesota was our start point for our ride around Lake Superior. This is an Iron Butt ride where we would go completely around Laker Superior (1000 miles) in 24 hours. These are the only two pictures I took during the ride. It took us about 23 hours to complete the ride and for 95% of the ride, this is what we saw... asphalt lined by dense forest. Cold, wind, deer and darkness. Upper Michigan at 3am on a June morning is downright chilly; roughly 40F degrees. We worked thru all these factors to finish the trip. Jack and I agreed that this was the toughest Iron Butt we had ever done. It was a good experience and we're all looking forward to get our certificates and pins.
P.S. I was in the lead and saw 10 deer along the road that night; only one was dead.
