Duluth, Minnesota, already has a bounty of trails: Cross-country ski trails, the Superior Hiking Trail and the Lakewalk. Not enough for you? How about 100 miles of singletrack woven into the city? It's called the Duluth Traverse, and it's the vision of the Cyclists of Gitchee Gumee Shores (www.COGGS.com) based in Duluth.
Cross-country skiing has experienced a resurgence the last few years. In record numbers families are using forest preserve and state park trails enjoy time outdoors with the kids. Adults who can't afford downhill lift tickets, equipment and travel expenses, find Nordic skiing a reasonable alternative and a great exercise. People of all ages are participating in citizen racing.
