Harley Riders of Minnesota Annual Group Ride “Northland Loop”

Barkers Island Inn – Superior, WI
Kickstands up at 11Am Saturday June 27

Alright everyone, here’s the plan for our 4th annual group ride. We’re taking a full Northland loop with great scenery, good food, and some of the best roads Minnesota has to offer. This will be an all-day run with regular stops, plenty of time to hang out, and a smooth route that keeps the group together. We will be staying at the Barkers Island Inn. I’ll set up so everyone can make reservations this spring. Rooms are first come first serve. Either come up Friday, or Saturday . Most last year came up for two nights . We will also be doing a poker run. Winners take pot
