This is one very unique, not-to-be-missed bike tour. The Detroit Police block all the streets and vehicle traffic as our huge group of bicyclists slowly tour the urban environment. It definitely puts style over speed, fun over fast. I highly recommend it. Here's more info... ------------------------- Last year over 600 of us cycled around the city in the 2007 Tour de Troit! This year's tour takes place Saturday, September 20th at 10:00 am in Roosevelt Park, Corktown, Detroit, Michigan, USA. This is the seventh incarnation of the tour, and our organizers have been hard at work planning yet another new route for 2008 which includes Downtown, Eastern Market, Brush Park, Boston Edison, University District, Palmer Park, Old Redford and Grandmont-Rosedale areas. A short rest stop is planned at the newly-renovated Northwest Activities Center to allow riders to eat, drink and learn about community development and greenways planning in the city. The ride will end at Roosevelt Park where cyclists can remain from 2-6 p.m. to enjoy music, food and drinks. You can keep up-to-date with information about this year's tour and click through to our Active.com registration page at: http://www.tour-de-troit.org. This year, for those visiting the city who wish to stay the night before, after, or both; Motor City Casino Hotel is offering a special, deeply discounted rate of $139 per night for Tour participants! You can even bring your bicycle (up to two) to your room! More information at http://www.tour-de-troit.org/l odging. We strongly encourage advance registration. If you register before September 13th, you will be guaranteed a T-Shirt with your registration. New this year will be a pre-ride packet pickup, to be confirmed in future correspondence. Advance Registration is $25, $15 for students. Day-of-ride registration is possible for $35 from 8:30-9:30 a.m.. Help us plan ahead and sign up early! Don't be stuck in line Saturday morning! Tour de Troit would not be possible without our sponsors. Please check them out at our site -- and support them with your patronage! On that note, thanks for your support of cycling in Detroit! The Tour de Troit and Greater Corktown Development Corporation look forward to seeing you on the 20th! Yours in the celebration of the power of the bicycle, Aaron, Andy, bil, Jack, Karen, Kelli, Todd and Woody http://www.tour-de-troit.org | ||
