Hancock to Copper Harbor, 60 miles, 2000' elevation gain.

  We are now riding on a Peninsula that juts into Lake Superior. We spent over 40 miles riding on a quiet road along the water. Beautiful wildflowers and homes on pretty flat terrain. Just one climb that hit over 13% but not long. This remote town is the gateway to Isle Royale National Park with daily boat service. Most of the riding, however, is in remote areas with no cell service and patchy internet.

Copper Harber to Baraga was 80 miles but my day to drive the sag. The route took us along inlets and harbors with some mild grades on the climbs. Wilderness views at their best. Plenty of roadside strawberry stands as they are in season. Yum. Our chef, Susan, continues to do magic with fresh fish and salads.
