The 16th Annual Tour de Troit, presented by Flagstar Bank is September 16, 2017. This bike ride explores some of the city's historic areas, takes in many of its most breathtaking sights, and provides bicyclists a unique opportunity to legally “take over” the streets of Motown.

The Tour de Troit offers two rides to choose from:

Tour de Troit MAIN RIDE: The primary Tour de Troit is a leisurely ride of 25.6 miles with police escort; sweeper- and SAG-support; three mechanic "pit stops;" and one rest stop that includes a snack and mechanical support. The main ride will take off at 9 a.m. 

Tour de Troit METRIC CENTURY: For extremely experienced cyclists, the Tour de Troit offers a metric century (62 miles) option that does not include police escort. Riders should be able to ride at least 15 mph and be comfortable on city streets following the Rules of the Road. This ride is sweeper- and SAG-supported but intersections are not closed to traffic. There are two rest stops for the metric century ride pacers will help guide riders but metric participants should be prepared to follow the map and route markings on their own. Registration for this event is capped at 500 so register today!
