Duluth, MN

Quick. After the rough night, I got out first with Nate, Eileen, Alli, and Jason for a fast day. It was supposed to be a flat 57, majority on the bike path. The Willard Munger bike path was great and we rolled really quick. Only problem was after lunch the four of us--Nate, Eileen, Jason and I--continued on the same bike trail, as the cue sheet said. Turns out we were supposed to jump a different path. No matter, we hit a main road and headed for Duluth over 10 extra miles of relatively intense climbs. Great view over the St. Louis valley though. Even with our extra 10 miles, we still arrived with the first group at 2:30. Stayed at a Jewish Temple and enjoyed a kosher dinner. We were welcome to attend their service and they were very helpful in explaining for us who weren't familiar and making us feel comfortable. Great food and experience.
