Today is the start of National Bike to Work Week, May 12 to 16, and also the start of Superior North Outdoor Center’s “Commuter Cup.” The friendly competition offers prizes for most miles, and most trips taken during bike to work week as well as for oldest and youngest participants. There are divisions for school students and adults. Prizes include a helmet, commuter useful accessories, a bike tune-up and everyone who enters gets a free water bottle. Prizes will be awarded during our Grand Opening at Superior North’s new location at 13 South Broadway in Grand Marais on May 16 & 17. To get sign up and get your mileage log for the “Commuter Cup,” stop in at Superior North Outdoor Center or or visit the shop on the web at www.superiornorthoutdoor.com. As organizers remind us, biking—it’s transportation, it’s good for you, and it’s fun!
