MUP: A Summer Cycling Adventure in Michigan’s U.P.!

MUPAlong the way, there will be stops in Munising (Pictured Rocks), Marquette (Northern Michigan University) and Chatham (Mama Cow’s Ice Cream) with plenty of fun in between.

Step back in time on this bike tour unlike any other for all ages and abilities. All bikes are welcome including trikes, recumbents, and e-bikes! Riders can expect to pedal 50+ miles per day alongside some of the most scenic forests and landscapes that make up the U.P.

MUP is a unique, premier experience not only because it shows riders Michigan like they’ve never seen it before, but because it is unmatched in features and services provided. This year, the League of Michigan Bicyclists (LMB), is launching the event with a new philosophy allowing participants to “ride more and stress less.” This approach involves including many elevated amenities with rider registration:

-  Breakfast and Dinner on all riding days
-  Custom Event jersey - choice between a short-sleeve 3 pocket, MTB long sleeve, or short-sleeve tech tee
-  3 nights in the dorms at Northern Michigan University
-  Campsite accommodations (excluding dorm stays) including tent space, snacks, and beverages
-  Fully stocked AID stations along each route (stations are no more than 20 miles apart)
-  SAG wagons should you need roadside help
-  Access to the Ride with GPS app and live turn-by-turn navigation during rides
-  Charging stations in camp and on course for e-bikes and electronics
-  Optional gravel and MTB rides in the late afternoon and early evening
-  Entertainment at night (when available)

“We are really excited to be back at NMU again this year,” says Neal Glazebrook, Events Director for LMB. “We have been on this central route for a few years now and will be rotating route plans for future editions, so it’ll be a few years before we hit these same towns again. With that in mind, it’s a perfect time to check out MUP and get in the cadence of joining LMB for an adventure every July in da U.P., eh!"

This year marks the 31st running of this annual cycling tour,
