Posted Jun 10, 2002

Join a 7 day Tour Of the Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan...
Hello Midwest Cyclist
We are again planning the tour named TOWUP for Tour Of the Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It's a 7 day unsupported tour (you carry everything you need) from Sunday July 28th - Saturday August 3rd, which will start from our home in Ironwood MI. Vehicles can be left here and this tour will return in a circular fashion.
From here we'll head northeast through the Porkies state park, then will follow the shore of Lake Superior to the Keweenaw Peninsula. We'll ride around the beautiful peninsula counter-clock-wise. The return trip will bring us to Bond Falls flowage and back home in a southwesterly fashion and . All of our overnight locations have nearby food and campgrounds are every 50-60 miles.
Much of this terrain is rolling with some mountainous like hills and flat spots mixed in. The 1st TOWUP story (with photos) can be read at

We feel the western upper peninsula of MI (da UP) has the most lovely terrain and quietest roads we've ever toured on. Why not join us this summer??
The fee for this year's tour is $60, which includes maps/cue sheets, camping fees, and supper for two evenings. The two group suppers will be cooked out over a fire and/or camp stoves, with everyone's assistance requested. You will need your own cooking equipment and food for all other meals, unless you choose to go to a restaurant.
Hope to see you
