This was Day 2 of the TCBC Duluth Country series of rides. We met at Brighton Beach Park on the north end of Duluth. The ride was north on scenic Old Hwy 61, with many scenic views of Lake Superior. On the return portion of the ride we stopped at the Scenic Cafe for lunch. The evening activity was a dinner cruise on the Vista Fleet boat.
