This tour is without a shadow of a doubt one of the nicest and interesting cycle trips, that you may perhaps wish to undertake.
In summer the daily weather is mild, warm and mostly dry with the odd thunderstorm now and again. Most of the roads we used from Detroit to Winnipeg had either ample to good shoulders or the level of traffic was so sparse, that it did not really matter anyhow. The folks in Michigan and Wisconsin proved to be rather cyclist friendly, likewise in Minnesota and Manitoba.
Leaving the busy city limits of Detroit, then its lush green countryside all the way to Lake Michigan, where you can enjoy the tremendous views over this vast lake from the observation deck of the S.S.Badger carferry on the 4 hour crossing to Wisconsin. Continuing north, we'll be passing many Amish People communities, most of these selling home baked delights. Reaching the deep blue colored Lake Superior, we'll now be crossing over the mighty Bong Bridge into Duluth, Minnesota.
The route now starts becoming rather barren as we make our way towards the border into the Canadian province of Manitoba. Our end destination is merely a day or two away now. Underway, we'll pass through the Mennonite village of Steinbach. Staying an extra night in the lovely little campground here is well worth it before tackling the last section into Winnipeg on this 1362 mile long spectacular cycling tour.
