Northern Tier and Lakes Map Set

If you are an Adventure Cycling member, you should have received your Spring 2010 Cyclosource in the mail by now. On pages 18-21, you'll find a revised map layout. All of the blue inset maps have been removed in favor of an easier to read and decipher (we hope!) overview map of our route network (pdf).

Plus, a brand new map compilation, the Northern Tier + North Lakes Route, has been added to the line-up. Our Tours department has been taking groups on this modified Northern Tier Route for a while, and now we are offering it to you as a package deal for your own trip. (See week 8 on this year's Northern Tier tour itinerary to read about the route variation.) By riding this option, instead of the standard Northern Tier, you'll experience four of the five Great Lakes, missing only Lake Superior.

This set of maps is merely one option of many that could be combined for a journey as personal and individual as you. Check out the new overview map of our routes (pdf), what's your daydream of the perfect map combination?
