Tripple D
2008 was another year when all the stars aligned, so the
- U of D night ride
- Beat the train and
- Tour de Troit
all fell on the same weekend.
So why not head out at 7 PM Friday night and start an epic day in Detroit. Throw in a couple of beers at the beginning of the ride, pedal till you're sober again at 5 in the morning and back on the bike at 6:30 guarantees you an interesting state of delirium by the time you get back home after 147 miles and just over 12 hours on the bike (yes, this clearly wasn't a race).
Typical Friday evening 7:30 PM at 8 Mile
Meeting up with the U of D crowd at 10 PM
Canada at night
Things you do at 3 in the morning
This picture was actually taken inside my brain
Mattmtb's fine work
Out at 6:30 to find the Beat the trainers
Found
Riding around Detroit's landmarks
New day has almost arrived
Perfect day for the Tour de Troit
Looks to me like more riders than ever, how many???
Well, count for yourself
Good friends
Just can't get enough of the D today
The end
Last remark - I wasn't by myself, always good to know people that got nothing else to do on a nice late summer night

Hey, I never saw you at TdT. Are you sure you were there? :)
Great ride and great photos as usual.
There were about 1,100 riders in this year's Tour de Troit, which is roughly 500 more than last year.
oooo ooooooo oooooooo!!!! i made your blog!!
i was on the red tandem that almost exploded at the beginning of the ride! maybe you remember me?!?!
Likewise Im glad you didnt have anything to do on a late summer evening either. Good times for sure!
Although after that ride my taint sure is glad all i did yesterday is ride around on a cruiser for a while.
Dude, you are In-F-N-sane for riding on Woodward and 8 mile near dark... except to get to the hot blonde with a pink bra.
