The Jersey

We designed our jerseys to spread a message. Come bike the U.P. with us, okay! With our expansive roads and minimal traffic, the U.P. has turned into a hidden biker’s paradise. However, we need people like you to spread the message by wearing our jerseys.

Just purchase our awesome Orange Camo Jersey. Following checkout, you will also receive an email invitation to join our Ride with GPS page for The Journey where you can download route details and view ride information.

Your Responsibility

You might be riding routes we use during our annual event. But we have no control over the condition of the routes or your experience. Any routes you have access to are your responsibility to research and your responsibility for safety. We recommend having a SAG vehicle as support. The Upper Peninsula is incredibly remote. Biking routes intended to keep people away from main highways will traverse through various types of terrain and road conditions. Carry the necessary equipment, water, and food. There will be vast stretches without stores or communities to assist you. This is your personal adventure and your personal responsibility.

The Ride

The Journey is Tour Da Yoop, Eh and then some. It’s for those who might take months to explore all the Upper Peninsula has to offer. Cut each section into as many days as you’d like. This is your journey.

The Chasing Plaid Challenge

As a biking organization, we deeply respect those who push themselves to achieve the impossible. We created the Chasing Plaid Challenge to inspire you to bike beyond your limits. Complete all ten sections to earn your place in the Hall of Plaid and cement your victory with a Red Plaid Jersey. It doesn’t matter how many years it takes. But you must complete each section within one attempt to earn Plaid. For example, you can not break down a 120 mile segment into multiple days.

There is an additional charge for the Plaid Jersey if you are riding outside of our annual event.

We’ll do our best to coordinate the shipping of the jersey so you can wear it on your final day of riding. We can arrange for you to purchase as you get closer to completing the entire 1,200 mile circuit. It may take up to a month to ship, and we don’t carry a complete sizing stock. So let us know your progress and we will do our best to get it to you in time for the momentous occasion.

NOTE: Once you finish your ninth section, you have earned the right to wear the coveted Red Plaid Jersey for the final section and beyond. If you receive the jersey in advance, you must make us a promise that you can never break. You are forbidden to wear a Red Plaid Jersey unless you have completed nine full sections without breaking any section into more than one day. Swear to this on whatever you hold most holy.
