Ride / Route Suggestions in Michigan East/Central U.P.
Going to be heading up to the U.P. tomorrow for a week and taking the bike along this year. I was looking for suggestions for 10-20 mile rides around the Naubinway/Engadine area (I'm staying at Hiawatha Sportsmans Club). I know the immediate area well, but never had a bike there before - and I know that some of the roads can get pretty rough some years. Any suggestions or advice would be great. Thanks!

My folks have a cabin just this side of Paradise & we go up for a month each summer. I've been using MapMyRide to plan some routes. I plotted out what I thought would be a nice little loop trying to get around 15 miles. It turned out to be 33! The problem may be finding a short enough route.
Hopefully, someone that lives around there will chime in...Good luck

I have an Adventure Cycling Map for the Great Lakes Region.. It suggests taking US 2 along the Lake Michigan shore.. They suggested the reason it is a better route is that they have wider shoulders.. Another hot spot they suggested is the roads about the Cedarville and the region about the Les Cheneaux Islands. Adventure Cycling has a internet site, from where their maps can be ordered.
Should your focus be about St Ignace, I am sure their local tourist offices will give you some feed back as to where the good cycling roads are.
