Le Grand Du Nord Gravel Cycling Classic

The gravel will start flying at Le Grand Du Nord’s second annual gravel cycling event on Saturday, May 27, 2017, at 8 a.m. in downtown Grand Marais, Minnesota. Registration opened in mid-January, and approximately 350 bikers are expected to participate.

Male and female cyclists will ride the 100-mile or 50-mile course and will use navigational cue-cards to follow a remote and hilly route through the boreal forests on the North Shore of Lake Superior. A pre- and after-party will be held at Voyageur Brewing in Grand Marais on Friday and Saturday nights.

Le Grand Du Nord is the newest and most northern gravel cycling classic organized by Heck of the North Productions, a company based in Duluth, which began in 2009 as a small group ride.
