The ride is planned for Wednesday July 10th to Sunday July 14th. Generally, Wednesday is when attendees start arriving, although some arrive Thursday and others on Friday.

One day will be riding in the middle to Eastern UP, another day to the south western (Wisconsin??) and the third day (usually Saturday as the main event) to Copper Harbour. Actual routes will be made as we get closer to the ride and offered as GPX files for download to GPS's.
Suggestions are of course, welcome.

I don't know where camp grounds are but I do know that they are all over the place. So if camping is your thing, by all means come on up!

I would love to, but a big family reunion kind of rules it out this year. So close, and yet so far...

Hey Blue Thunder
Did you make the UP ride this year? Do you go there every year? I know we talked about it last year, but I couldn’t make it. I just now (a couple weeks ago) finally got possession of a 78 Wing which needs a fair amount of work. I doubt I’ll even have it on the road this year, but it should be ready for next season. Let’s stay in touch.
