Join us on Saturday 9/27 for a Detroit Bike and Beer Ride!

We will start at 11AM from the Michigan Welcome Center, 2835 Bagley St. Detroit, MI 48216, and ride around Detroit, including a loop around Belle Isle, stopping at several breweries along the way.

This is a 24 mile ride. The first leg is 4 miles along the Riverfront, so it will be relatively slow. We have a quick stop at Atwater Brewing and then we have over 10 miles before the next stop to give us a chance to earn our food and drinks! We go onto Belle Isle where you can choose to go all out around the island if you want. We will regroup after leaving the island to make our way to the next stop, Collect Beer Bar, which has Gatorade on tap! The last 4 stops are all 2-3 miles apart. This ride will take about 4 hours to complete due to the many stops. Average pace will be about 12-13 mph.

Most places have a spot where you can park your bike and still see it, but it is a good idea to bring a lock.

Breweries include:
Atwater - food available
Collect Beer Bar - gatorade on tap!
Brewery Faison - possible food truck
Eastern Market (optional)
Full Measure - food available
Roar - limited food available
Six Spoke - food available from nearby restaurants or possible food truck

Please see the ride calendar on aabts.org for more details and other great rides!
