showed mercy to the 7,000+ riders in the 2015 Tour de Troit last Saturday and rained only intermittently during the hours of the event.
The local ABC affiliate was reporting live all morning
and John was interviewed during the 9 o'clock broadcast.

to the break point on Belle Isle. The last 10 miles of the ride included circling Belle Isle, with it's view of Canada right across the Detroit River and wicked head wind. 3+ hours after beginning, we arrived back at the starting point under welcoming bright blue skies.
We ended the day by going to the Tigers vs. Royals (Kansas City) game.
Grace and Ellie were lucky enough to get their hats signed by JD Martinez.
At some point, I checked my email and found a note from Pam. Seems she and her husband were watching the game. Is it bad form to admit that we ended up texting about the plays up until the 10th inning?
Fireworks were the perfect end to an amazing day.
Boy, am I tired. Looks like a great ride.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great ride and having an urchin on the back to really peddle when my legs were tired helped immensely! Baseball game started at 7 pm so we all had a good long rest in between.
DeleteWhat a great trip! And so many great shots by Grace! The baseball must have been fabulous too - good times all-round (especially with the assisted cycling!).
ReplyDeleteIt was a great trip - filled with lots of activities and lots of rest time in between. The assisted cycling was awesome - nice to be able to tell whichever urchin was riding with me to pedal harder...while I let my feet float a bit...shhhh...don't tell them!
