The North Shore Winery welcomes the Lutsen 99er racing community, Cook County residents and all visitors to an event introducing and highlighting Cook County’s own Will Surbaugh, who will be competing in the Lutsen 99er this Saturday.

Fresh off competitive performances in The Midsouth Gravel (Stillwater, Oklahoma), The Sea Otter Classic (Monterey, California), The Rule of Three (Bentonville, Arkansas) and a second place finish in The Le Grand Du Nord (Grand Marais, Minnesota), Will is set to compete in this year’s highly anticipated Lutsen 99er mountain bike competition.

Will grew up in Cook County, is a graduate of Cook County High School, and is now competing at a world class level in mountain and gravel bike racing competitions nationally.

Please join us at The North Shore Winery on Friday for an event honoring Will, who will take the main stage at 6:30 at the Winery for an interview with Kris Swarthout, who is the announcer for the 99er weekend and a nationally known coach of top performing athletes.

The North Shore Winery will introduce and serve Sap Tapper’s Blend, a maple syrup seltzer blended with Will Surbaugh’s involvement.  Free root beer will be provided to kids.  A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Sap Tappers Blend in 2023 go directly to support Will’s racing program.

Please join us on Friday night to support Will as he prepares for the 99er and what promises to be an exciting 2023 national racing season!

The North Shore Winery, Cascade Vacation Rentals, 47 North, Visit Cook County, Caribou Highlands and Lutsen Mountains are sponsors for the 2023 Will Surbaugh Racing Season.
