At Heck of the North Productions, we love working with our dedicated band of local sponsors. We remain a business run from our kitchen table. And the partnerships we form with other sponsors comes from our appreciation of creative, hard-working entrepreneurs looking to bring great products to gravel cycling. It’s as simple as that. Most of the time, our sponsors help the events by volunteering their time. And sometimes, they bring really great product to give to some lucky riders. We appreciate this commitment and layer of energy they bring to the events. Thank you!
Voyageur Brewing Company in Grand Marais happens to be our long time partners with Le Grand du Nord. They have helped host and party with the event from the beginning. Their hand crafted drinks are some of the finest around and I know you will love the special atmosphere they help create at Le Grand. Stop by when you are up the North Shore.
And the amazing part about gravel cycling is the endless and sometimes surprising connections made by riding miles of gravel together. Here’s a shout out to Lake Superior Dental for supplying toothbrushes to our Fox bikepacking race. Dr Polzin is an avid cyclist and it just turns out he digs our events. And those toothbrushes are the best bikepacking dental gear on the planet. I use mine everyday, actually.
More to come!
