GREAT ride. You want the middle of nowhere you got it. When we arrived in Ely we were astonished at the lack of traffic and civilization along the way.

Started in the Twin Cites and rode up through Duluth, Two Harbors and up 61 to Hwy 1. Beautiful ride past Duluth. Hwy 1 was fun with a few turns. There is road construction on Hwy 1 and the detour leads you onto a DIRT road. Took some back roads home and not interstate 35. They talk about all the animals, I saw some birds including one grouse. It took me about 9 to 10 hours.

Beautiful road. This is a road for full apparel. Even being cautious and knowing the road, anything happens to the bike and your off the road and in the ditch. The wife and I are the only ones that the first responders ever saw walk away from a crash in this area. Not an area to take for granted.

Best ride in Northern Minnesota. Very scenic. The northern half is more exciting by far with tight blind corners. Road conditions are awesome, just be sure to stop in Ely for food, bathrooms and fuel. Not much else until the North Shore.

This is definitely one of the best motorcycle roads in Minnesota, as long as you are cautious. There are about five billion moose and deer up by Ely, coupled with blind corners and the urge to go 'faster' this can get hairy.The road straightening is complete, it was only a couple of the scary sections (no shoulder, blind corners, tree branches that you can touch as you go by).

This road is great!! I took this as a detour to Duluth from Roseau a few weeks ago. The ride through the woods is great and the curves are like a mountain road. Best road in Minnesota by far.

We took this route on our 2008 Lake Superior Circle Tour. A slight bit out of the way of the Circle Tour if your coming from Wis. but it is well worth the detour! Not a lot of gear shifting, just a lot of bends and curves. It was by far the best winding road I have ever been on for that distance.
