Something walking upright in St. Louis County, Minnesota

I was riding a bicycle north of [the town of Virginia, MN] on a small dirt road. I saw a creature about 300 feet to the northwest of me on a hill at the edge of a mixed deciduous and evergreen forest. It looked at me, turned, crouched, and walked up the hill into the forest. It looked cautious and apprehensive. It had black fur and a very hairy face more like a man than a bear (It had no snout). It walked upright like a man. It was not round in the body as a bear, but more lanky. Its hard to judge the height, but it was at least as tall as a tall man. It did not move or look like a bear. My impression of it at that time was that it had sense of humaness about it, but it was a wild, unkempt, hairy creature. I was quiet scared at the time and turned and got out of there in the opposite direction. It looked like the purported Sasquatch I saw on a film strip years ago on TV, but it was not as thick as that one. It was more lanky. I did not report this at the time to any authority, because I did not want to be labeled as a crank. I did tell a few friends. I report it now because on NPR I listened to a scientist who works at a Idaho University talk about the evidence that convinced him the sasquatch is real.
