Good Day,
Yes, a little late but there’s still time. We are happy to finally offer the course GPX files for “The Wolf.” This route is an exceptionally challenging version of our former “Heck Epic.” We made the decision to introduce and focus on our new shorter bikepacking event, “The Fox” this year. Again, many reasons for this. And, our Heck Epic is now formally known as “The Wolf.” Thanks for your patience as we navigate, what I hope, is the backside of this pandemic. And thank you for being patient as we change the name, sideline the formal event (The Wolf) for 2021 (back again in 2022?) and introduce “The Fox.”
Here are the details about this year’s Wolf course and Challenge.
For those preparing for The Fox (Finland-Grand Marais-Finland) we will be sending out communications about final event planning this month. We are also planning an informal gear, bike, and general shakedown get together in Duluth by the end of July. Again, stay tuned for that date.
We emphasize that this “Wolf” course/challenge is not an official Heck event this year. All riders are 100% on their own with no financial, food, water, liability, or safety support from Heck of the North Productions or Trackleaders.com. That being said, we are always open to questions at jeremybkershaw@gmail.com.
Good luck to those who choose to take on this beauty course through the wilds of Northern Minnesota. We look forward to doing some dot-watching and hearing about your journeys.
Thanks for getting out there, cycling and exploring.
Ride the Good Line
Jeremy Kershaw
