About Tour Da Yoop, Eh
If You’re Up For The Challenge, Join Us
The Yoop is a bikers paradise. Whether it’s mountain, fat bike, cyclocross, road, trike, triathlon or any other form of human powered cycle, the Yoop has the natural goods to deliver. You just have to come and enjoy it.
Tour Da Yoop is like no other. We have established a phenomenal bike route that circles the entire Yoop and stays off main highways as often as possible. On most of the sections you will see more wildlife than cars.
In 2018, our inaugural riders completed the entire 1,200 mile route over a 10 day period. Most people did 1 or a few sections and are going back in 2019 for more.
We offer a three fabulous ways to enjoy the experience:

James Studinger, founder of Call of the Yooper and Tour Da Yoop, Eh has a vision – for people to “Reconnect With Nature”. James is from the Upper Peninsula and wants as many people as possible to enjoy all that Michigan’s Upper Peninsula (aka the Yoop) has to offer. He’s hiked from Lake Superior to Lake Michigan through the middle of the Hiawatha National Forest, canoed from Lake Superior to Lake Michigan and everything in between. In 2018 the course was plotted and experienced by a few lucky riders.
In 2019 James and M & R Events teamed up to bring you an experience of a lifetime. We offer a 10 day 1,200 mile stage race along with individual section rides. The course goes around the entire perimeter of the U.P.. Not only is this one of the toughest rides you’ll ever do, it will be one of the most beautiful rides you’ll ever do. We invite you to get off the beaten path and experience something incredible, come see Michigan’s Upper Peninsula at it’s best.
