Join Tour de Troit and the Detroit Eastside Community Collaborative for the Fifth Annual Cycle Into Spring, presented by UnitedHealthcare Community Plan! Enjoy a pleasant pedal from the Detroit River to Eight Mile and back along the Conner Creek Greenway (CCG), nine miles of cycling infrastructure that traces the original Conner Creek and links people, parks, green spaces, neighborhoods, schools and shops. Funds raised at Cycle into Spring will support programming and development of the greenway. The 20-mile ride will begin at 9 a.m. and is police-escorted as well as sweeper and SAG-supported. Sites along the way include Coleman A. Young International Airport, Mt. Olivet Cemetery, the Milbank Trail, the Chrysler Jefferson North Assembly Plant and Chandler Park. A t-shirt is included with all pre-registrations. Refreshments provided at rest stop. An optional lunch is available after the ride. Cycle Into Spring costs $30 or $40 with lunch. Non-riders are able to pre-register for just lunch for $15. Cycle Into Spring attracted over 900 riders in 2015. Registration is available until May 1. Helmets are mandatory.
