U. P. Motorcycle Week
Motorcycle Michigan's Upper
Peninsula
U.P. Cruising invites all motorcycle riders, clubs and
organizations to come take part in it's first "Just Ride" Upper
Michigan Motorcycle Week. "Just Ride 2008" is about
bringing together motorcycle riders from all over the country to enjoy Michigan's Upper Peninsula. This
is a peninsula wide invitation to ride, so there are no official starting or
ending points, no registration fees or scheduled ride times.
Where you ride and what you do when you get there will be up to you.

Michigan's Upper Peninsula
"Just Ride 2008" is
one week out of the summer selected to invite bikers to come ride
Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Maybe we should have called it Yooper
Biker Days since it's not really an official road rally. At this
time, there are no official staged rides
planned during the week, but for those riders looking for recommendations on
roads or specific locations to ride, we've put together a number of
options.
Yooper Cannonball
The Yooper Cannonball is about bragging rights.
For approximately 360 miles you'll ride from one end of Upper Michigan to
the other. The ride starts with a huge biker breakfast in
Ironwood. From there you'll cruise through small towns, miles of state forests and along
some best beaches you'll find anywhere. When you reach
De Tour Village,
you'll load your bike on a car ferry for a short short ride over to
Drummond Island. From there you'll ride until you run out of
pavement. From there its back to the crossroads for good biker
burger and some refreshments. You are now a lifetime member in the Yooper Cannonball
Motorcycle Club.
M-26 to Copper Harbor
Probably one of the most
written about motorcycling roads in Upper Michigan. The ride takes
you from Maas City all the way to
Copper Harbor. The road has about
everything a rider could want. M-26 takes you along the Lake
Superior lakeshore where you'll find some flowing twists and turns, great
views and lot of places to pull over and take it all in.
In Search of the
Longships
This ride from St. Ignace to
Drummond Island and then up to
Sault
Ste. Marie and over to Whitefish Point not only provides you with many
glimpses of the huge ore ships that sail the Great Lakes, but it also
takes you past some of best scenery you'll find anywhere in Upper
Michigan.
