Are you a cyclist? If so, boy do we have the ride for you! Its called TOUR DA YOOP, EH and it’s a total ride of 1,200 miles in the U.P. You can chose to ride all of it, or only sections. It starts on 8/23 and the last leg is on 9/1. The U.P. is a bikers paradise. Whether it’s mountain, fat bike, cyclocross, road, trike, triathlon or any other form of human powered cycle, the Upper Peninsula has the natural goods to deliver, just show up and ride. One can ride for 100 miles in the UP and sometimes see less than 10 cars. It’s more likely that you’ll see a moose on the side of the road than have a car blast their horn behind you. Before and after your ride, you can stay at various Freshwater Vacation Rentals cottages and cabins near Manistique, Houghton, Marquette, and Sault Ste. Marie to unwind and relax those biking muscles. Check out the Tour Da Yoop, Eh’s website and then go to our website to find the cottages and cabins closest to where you are going to ride.
