Tour de 'troit

Downtown Detroit by bike - only recommended wiht Police drivingt along. And that's what it was.


That's where I spent my Saturday morning

Saturday at 10 am, start in the bottom left corner of the picture, then along the lake towards Belle Isle (the island you can see), past the Football Stadium Ford Field (hosting the Superbowl in 2006) - the big white thing just to the left of the center, some more zig-zagging and back to the start.

35 miles at a blistering pace of about 8 (eight!!!) mph. That is freaking slow. OK, no complaints, I knew it's going to be slow, and it actually was a lot of fun.

Never seen so many old-school bikes as on this ride, and most of the riders actually thought they have a nice ride. I guess there were about 200 riders.

The police was there to close intersections and stop-signs, their Harleys are LOUD (and the horn goes like : uiiip, uiiip, uiiip - maeeeeee) . All we had to do was pedal slow and not worry about the traffic.

Free beer and food afterwards - what a great way to start a Saturday!

Party at a friends place in the evening - more beer. Looks like the bike season slow's down, haven't had as many drinks as in the last two days throughout the whole year.
