Michigan’s biggest cycling ride (30 miles, with police escorts) is even bigger this year, with participation expected to exceed last year’s 7,500 cyclists. This is not only a fun as heck event, but it raises funds for a very cool cause. Since its inception in 2005, the Tour de Troit ride has raised nearly $200,000 to support greenways and non-motorized transit projects in Detroit. Admission fees include an event T-shirt, rest stop snacks, and post-ride food and drink.
