Be still my heart!
Is it going to be in the upper lower peninsula (only in Michigan, can you say
stuff like that and expect people to understand it!)

This was too much fun! The ride over the Ambassador Bridge went very well, customs on both sides very accomodating, Transit Windsor and my truck driver Clyde Conz took good care of us, Tres Beans Cafe in Windsor provided delicious food, and the entire City of Windsor welcomed us! I cannot wait until next year!

Come to The Inaugural "Bike the Bridge" Bicycle Tour September 6 6 a.m. - 4 p.m.
The Inaugural "Bike the Bridge" Bicycle Tour will be starting at Rivard Plaza in Detroit (near the Wheel House Bicycle Shop). We will be departing early on Sunday, September 6, and riding over to the Ambassador Bridge as a group. After riding across the Bridge (which has not had a bicycle on it in 30 years), we will be taking a tour of historic Old Sandwich Town in Windsor, a remarkable stop on the Underground Railroad. We will then proceed along Riverside Drive to Lansperry Park along the Detroit River for a breakfast provided by Tres Beans Coffee House of Windsor, and enjoy the waterfront and the morning. After being able to lock your bike up in a controlled environment, it's a short walk to one of the Biggest Bicycle Races in Canada, in Windsor's own Little Italy. At 3 p.m., we will make the return trip to the USA. Hopefully, we will have great weather
and a great time for all! Limited to the first 250 rider/entrants!

Barry, could you post the questionnaire for the post-ride evaluation here on
this group? It would be easier for me to answer/give response.
