Gears & Beers and the new Detroit/Windsor Bridge
Details
Detroit has a once-a-year ride that shows you around several neighborhoods in Detroit. Dave signed up for the 25 mile 10am wave group ride (includes a guide). The ride is Saturday October 3rd.
The plan is to head up to Detroit on Thursday October 1st and come back on Sunday October 4th. Dave will also schedule a ride across the new Gordie Howe bridge (from Detroit to Windsor Canada) which opened to bike and pedestrian traffic on August 5th. This is the first time that you will be able to cross the border to Canada from Detroit on a bike. (the existing bridge has no bike/pedestrian lane). You will need your passport or passport card.
Other activities can also be scheduled as we get closer and have an idea of who is interested.
Feel free to join for any portion of the trip. We can do a planning call if there is interest.
Three of us have reserved an Airbnb on Arndt Street; please find lodging nearby.
Dave is planning this event with Team Cleveland Cycling and inviting Free to Roam Members. Please text me with any questions: 216-963-3851.
