Pics & Bloggage

Here’s a photoset snapped by one of our volunteers: yensky. Detroit Bike Blog has some nice ones here. And here are Jer’s.

Also, all the I’s are not dotted nor T’s crossed, but it is looking like we might have raised more like $12,000 for the Corktown-Mexicantown Greenlink. Very exciting news!

Lastly, we do have a limited number of tee-shirts available for $15 at Wheelhouse Detroit. Get ‘em while you can!

WOW!

This year’s TdT is over, and it was a blast! We’ll post exact number of riders and funds raised later in the week, but early estimates put it at about 1,100 riders and $10,000 for the maintenance of the Corktown-Mexicantown Greenlink (which, by the way just got approved as part of the city’s non-motorized transportation plan!).

Here’s a link to a photoset: Sue’s Slideshow — more of those to come, too!

Thanks to all who registered! We’ll see you Saturday for a great ride!

On-line Registration Ends at 7pm EST

That’s right, you have until 7 p.m. to pre-register at Active.com — after that, it’s the on-site in the morning for you! Anyone that needs to register on-site, we strongly suggest that you be there by 8:30 a.m. to ensure you get a spot. On-site registration is $35.

Anyone that is pre-registered but has been unable to pick up their packet, it would be best to arrive between 9 and 9:30 a.m.

We ride at 10 sharp! The weather is looking fantastic!

Packet Pick-up Info

If you have pre-registered, you can pick up your registration materials ahead of time and not have to wait in line Saturday morning!

Packet pick-up will be available from 10 am to 8 pm Thursday and Friday at Wheelhouse Detroit, which is located at 1340 E. Atwater, three blocks east of the Renaissance Center at Rivard Plaza. There is free parking in an adjacent lot. Visit www.wheelhousedetroit.com for more information.

Please bring a print-out of your Active.com receipt email.

Saturday morning, please arrive at Roosevelt Park before 9:30 — the ride will leave promptly at 10am and we do leave together! Coffee and Carbs will be served on site.

Free on-street parking is available on 14th, 15th, 16th and W. Vernor – the streets surrounding the park. Please do not park on the grass of Roosevelt Park!

Our remaining ride T-Shirts will be available for purchase for $15 at the post-ride party - join us for great food, drink, music, and conversation!

Saturday morning

TdT would like to thank our just-added morning sponsors: Urban Bean Co., Java Exchange and Avalon International Breads will be getting us carbed and caffeinated before the ride Saturday morning. Three more wonderful local businesses supporting cycling in Detroit — thanks!

Tee-shirt Registration Finis

admin — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 14:42:19 +0000

Pre-registration still saves you some ducats — on-site registration is $35, while pre- is $25 ($15 for students) — but as of today, no longer comes with a free tee-shirt. There will be a limited number of TdT tee-shirts available for sale after the ride.

Trouble registering on-line?

admin — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 17:32:54 +0000

Some folks have been unable to register on-line as of today. Our registration site returns a “Page not found” error. Some people are not having this problem.

If you are, you may try deleting any Active.com cookies on your machine. That may do the trick.

Sorry about the inconvenience. We are working with Active.com to get this resolved.

Or if you prefer, you can register by phone today, Saturday the 13th until 5pm. The phone number is 313.656.BIKE (2453).

Tee-shirt deadline nearing
