BiKE UP


Putting U.P. biking on the map. Literally.

 
 

Let’s show the world.

The best way for the world to see where to bike is to show them where to bike. Using Strava’s Global Heat Map, we can show the entire world that the Upper Peninsula has some of the best and safest biking opportunities around.

 
 

THE BASICS

There are 6 separate routes.

On a map, they spell “BiKE UP.” “B” is the longest route coming in at 168 miles. If that’s too long of a day for you, just split it into two days. “i” is the shortest route coming in at 35 miles one way or 70 miles round trip.

Most of the routes are road bike worthy. An alternate “P” route has gravel. Some you may want a gravel bike. But, hey! this is the U.P.—a land where all kinds of adventures await!

The more of us that ride BiKE UP,

the more the world sees what an great place the U.P. is to ride.

There were only 18 vehicle-bike accidents in the U.P. in 2020. Compare that to over 1,200 in lower Michigan. The U.P. is a road biking paradise. You don’t realize it until you ride it. We just have to show people where to go.

This is a unique U.P. adventure.

BiKE UP lets you explore the interior of the U.P. with tons of fun challenges. Put your stuff on Strava and show the world what an awesome and safe place the UP is for biking.

Getting started is simple. Purchase the beautiful BiKE UP jersey ($150). We will email you the routes. Go and show the world what we’re made of.
