Hi,

We are interested in planning a week long UP tour on our dual sport bikes - we would like to ride as much dirt as possible and stay off the paved roads.  Is this possible?  It would be nice to leave the truck in one spot and loop back around to it.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks Matt

Matt,

Check out the Expedition: Michigan stuff the Great Lakes Dual Sporters have on their site. Maps, GPS data and more (all free download). Literally thousands of miles.

Very easy to choose a weekend ride, three day loop or a week long "full UP" trip. Your choice.

Here's some of the options:

June - September. Late June...

August is best if you really want to hit good weather and no bugs.

FALL IS BUY FAR THE BEST TIME! Great color, no bugs and cool weather. Been there, done that, great riding in the UP!
