Bicycling Minnesota's Mesabi Trail Day 1, Ely To Tower (June 8, 2023)

Ever since I started creating TH-cam videos I have wanted to return to the Mesabi Trail. I consider this to be the crown jewel of our many wonderful bicycle trails in Minnesota. Our first day of five days of riding was the newly completed section of trail from Ely to Tower, which we have never ridden. It did not disappoint and was a beautiful ride, although a bit hilly. There are not many facilities along the trail so make sure you bring enough water and food.

Thank you so much for your video! My husband and I plan to bike this same route on our upcoming trip to Ely and it was great to see a preview of what’s to come!

Richard, I watch all your videos. Beautiful trail! Surprisingly, almost none of it shows up on Google maps. And parts of it remind me of the Paul Bunyan trail (the winding east / west section) south of Walker. It's the best trail I've ridden in MN. Cheers!

We recently discovered your videos and are inspired to start bicycling again. Next summer we will be in MN/IA again and will try out some of your recommended trails. What kind of bike should we get? Thank you. We love watching you guys.

I am wanting to get up to the North Shore to ride the Gichi Gami and Mesabi Trails. Thanks for sharing your experiences! Will you be sharing other segments of the Mesabi Trail? On a side note, I just finished riding RAGBRAI 50 a couple weeks ago. First rode it on the 25th anniversary. What a crowd this year. Love your videos!
