3rd Annual Tour de Tom Downriver Bike Ride
2024 Bike Ride with Under the Radar Michigan's Tom Daldin!
The Tour de Tom was a great success in May of 2023!
The event grows each year as folks realize what fun it is to join the ride and discover all the Downriver Trails and share their ride stories with others.
Our date for Tour de Tom in 2024 will be June 8th with an alternative rain day for June 9th. This year's ride will feature the Huron Clinton Metroparks .
Nothing says Spring in Michigan like riding a bike through the green that we longed for all winter...and to do so with friends and family makes it even better!
