The Annual North Shore Bike Ride, now called The GGTA North Shore Bike Ride & Roll is more than just a ride—it’s a celebration of community, adventure, and the breathtaking beauty of the Gitchi-Gami State Trail.
On the 3rd Saturday in August, riders of all ages, abilities, and modalities come together to experience:
- Scenic beauty – Pedal along Lake Superior’s shoreline, where sweeping views, rugged cliffs, and colorful forests make every mile unforgettable.
- Charming communities – Explore the unique culture, local flavors, and warm hospitality of North Shore towns.
- A safe, paved trail – Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with riding on one of Minnesota’s premier bike trails, designed for recreation and connection.
