Shouldn't you have biked the other direction, Minneapolis to Duluth, and then drove back?

All uphill from Duluth to Minneapolis, especially the first 15 - 20 miles.

Strictly speaking, it's not Duluth: it begins at the Proctor High School (Home of the Rails).

The town was originally named Proctorknott, after Proctor Knott, a one-time governor of Kentucky...
