2,000 of you participated in the 2009 Tour de Troit…and we want your pictures! Please email info@tour-de-troit.org or add links to photo-sharing sites in the comments section of this post. Thanks so much for taking part in such a wonderful day!
Thanks to our volunteers, sweepers, sponsors and the Detroit Police Department Tac Ops division for helping make this year’s TdT happen.
If you missed the 6 p.m. deadline for pre-registration, there are 300 tickets available onsite. The registration line opens at 8 a.m. and we will close the line when it reaches 300 people. No exceptions.
We are super-excited about this year’s ride, and from the looks of everyone that’s made it to packet pickup so far, our riders are as well! We will see you all at Roosevelt Park in the AM.
Special note to procrastinators: On-line registration shuts down at 6 p.m. We will post the number of on-site registrations we will take this evening.
No worries, just show up at Roosevelt Park early. We will be there from 8 a.m. on.
Online registration will be cut off on Friday, September 18 at 6 p.m. If you miss that, you’ll have to register onsite for $40/$35 (student). Show up early!
From 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., there will be free vehicle etching at Roosevelt Park on the day of the TdT. It’s a value of $250 and might even get you a discount on your auto insurance.
Thanks to Southwest Detroit Business Assocaition, the Michigan State Police Automobile Theft Prevention Agency and State Farm for providing this service to our riders.
Packet pick-up will take place at Wheelhouse Detroit, located at 1340 E. Atwater at Rivard Plaza, three blocks east of the Ren Cen. There is a free parking lot adjacent.
Hours for packet pickup are as follows:
Wednesday, September 16, noon to 8 p.m.
Thursday, September 17, noon to 8 p.m.
Friday, September 18, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Please bring the email that Eventbrite sent you upon registration. If you are picking up someone else’s packet, bring theirs too!
Your packet will include a T-shirt (if you registered before September 1), route map/guide, wristband, spoke card, food tickets and event info. We encourage you to bring your own reusable bag to help keep us as green as possible!
the cost of registering for the TdT jumps on Saturday to $35 ($30 students).
Holy smokes, we’re going to have a crowd! We will be emailing you all soon about packet pick-up.
