Product Description
Tired of crowded mountain bike trails? Bored of riding through scenery that is little more than mowed farm fields and gravel pits? The head north to the great Upper Peninsula of Michigan! In this special region above the Mackinac Bridge, the trails are plentiful, the wilderness scenery is outstanding and the chances of encountering wildlife from the seat of your bike - deer, bald eagles, possibly even a black bear - are better than anywhere else in the state. Outings include rolling through a stand of virgin hemlock on Bruno's Run near Munising,stopping to enjoy the waterfalls of the Porcupine Mountains State Park, taking a ferryboat to mountain bike around Grand Island, and boarding the Algoma Central Railroad to be dropped off in the wilderness north of Searchmont Resort. The Best Trails in the Upper Peninsula: More than 40 trails across the Upper Peninsula for off-road cyclists are covered in complete detail. Ten road routes are also included that can be enjoyed on a mountain bike or a road bike. Photos and trail maps of every biking area. Accurate milage, easy-to-follow directions to trailheads and Trip Cards for every ride.

I've wanted to go mountain biking in the Upper Peninsula for a long time, but didn't know where to go until Mike McLelland's book came along.With his book I was able to plan a seven-day vacation this summer (1998) and tour the U.P. with a couple of buddies. We went up to the Marquette/Munising area and spent a few days on Bruno's Run, McKeever Hills and Grand Island. Awesome trails!!!! Then we headed west and went on the Ge-che trail and got into some hardcore downhill action at the Copper peak bike park. The chairlifts make short work of some otherwise gnarly uphills. Then your on the top and fly, baby, fly!!!!! We had a great trip on some of the best trails this mitten state has to offer. I'm planning to bring my girlfriend up there this fall or next year. She's not as hardcore as I am, but Mike's book has trails for everyone's level. I'm planning a different trip for me and her. Another good thing about the book was the maps and descriptions. I could rule out the trails that didn't sound good to me, and knew what to expect once out on the trail like rocks, water, hills, etc. Another good thing was its size. I put mine in my backpack to use as a reference on the trail. I always knew the U.P. had some awesome riding, and I'm glad someone took the time to do the research and put all those trails into one book.
