WINTER FUN
IN DA U.P.

Polar Roll is the largest fat-bike event in Michigan and a proud member of the Great Lakes Fat Bike Series. Fat-bikers can choose from the thirty-mile event aptly named “Danny’s Hills” or the shorter fifteen-mile event dubbed “Half the Hills”. Snowshoers are welcome to give the course a shot with the new Angry Bear 10K Snowshoe Run. Winter in the Upper Peninsula is unpredictable and can get downright nasty so come prepared. Polar Roll weekend is an opportunity to celebrate our ability to win against the elements – don’t let winter keep you on the sideline!

PRIZES

From belt buckles and cash prizes for the long bike race to awards for the top three overall in the short race, we’ve got it covered.

RULES

We ride regardless of weather. This is The U.P., it ain’t that downstate or even worse, cheesehead weather. Unless it’s snowing so hard that Todd can’t see his hand.

Whack Jobs Film: Fat-Bike Grooming in Michigan

Da U.P. is a unique place, containing 29% of Michigan’s land mass and only 3% of its population. We’ve got some real wack jobs up here. They spend the summer building grooming equipment & mapping out trail, and spend the winter grooming, riding and waiting out the storms so they can go groom and ride some more.
