I put on 380+ miles on the Iron Range over the weekend. I rode from Side Lake to Chisholm/Hibbing then to the Nashwauk area and back on Friday night, then on Saturday we rode from Side Lake, after stopping by The Grizzley1s garage for some quick welding, (Thanks Dan!) up to Cook and over to Tower then Ely and Babbitt, then back to Side Lake. The only really bad spot was a stretch from Babbitt on the Taconite West spur to the Iron Ore Trail. That's a pretty rocky area and you couldn't see a lot of rocks, but you sure could feel them. Other wise the riding was very good. Lake Vermilion had a lot of slush, but the ride was OK as long as you didn't try to stay right by the stakes. The way the weather is going we will be having a great ride!
