June trip- Southern Minnesota-Copper Harbor-Marquette-Duluth-S MN route pieces?

[silence]

I've got 17 or 18 days to go exploring from Rochester MN.  Riding mountain bike for this one (intend to race the keweenaw chain drive in the middle of this trip). 

Absolutely want to make it to Copper Harbor, Houghton, Marquette, Cable in order to ride singletrack.  Also, would like to route through Ironwood as I have friends there so access to showers/kitchen/post office box etc..

I have detailed notes on the Trans-Wisconsin route and can use some of that to guide me (this trip will be instead of trans-wisconsin for me this year, but will maybe get to do a solo run at it in the fall).  Got anything else to help route wise?

I am planning a trip not so different from that... i am going to start in cable (i have land in hayward - so want to start/end there), run up to duluth and head north to grand portage, take the ferry over to isle royale (no bike riding - but you can take transport bikes), from the island i am going to take a different ferry to copper harbor, and then head back down to hayward/cable.  I don't have a 'specific' route at this point - just general directions/city destinations.  But hell, if you want to push your trip back to late July/early August i could use some company??
