Story
Tour de Troit’ Second Annual Cycle into Spring
is expecting twice as many participants as it did
last year. Last year’s event raised two thousand
dollars for the Connor Creek Greenway that
connects Detroit’s eastside to the Detroit River.
“We’re excited to partner with the Detroit
Eastside Community Collaborative to bring
attention to the city’s eastside and support the
completion of the Connor Creek Greenway,”
Tour de Troit Co-Director, Vittoria Katanski
said. “Our non-profit strives to make cycling
more accessible in Detroit by raising awareness
and supporting the development of greenways
and bike paths with proceeds from our events.
As a result of this ride, we hope to be able to
make a solid contribution to the Connor Creek
Greenway project.”
Cycle into Spring will be held May 18th. The
twenty mile cycling event will take cyclists from
the Detroit River and will continue to Eight
Mile, returning along the nine miles of cycling
infrastructure that traces the original Connor
Creek that links people, parks, green spaces,
neighborhoods, schools and shops. Sites to see
along the way include the Coleman A. Young
International Airport, Mt. Olivet Cemetery, the
Milbank Trail, the Chrysler Jefferson North
Assembly Plant and Chandler Park.
“We are building two miles of the greenway as
we speak, from McNichols to Eight Mile, and
hope to show it off to the hundreds of riders that
come to enjoy our eastside greenway,” said
Libby Levy, Program Director for the Connor
Creek Greenway. “Cycle into Spring is a great
event to expose people to our hidden gem and to
raise funds to help us create a great greenway
for generations to come.”
Cycle into Spring will run from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Advanced registration is available online
through May 11 and will include a T-shirt. The
ride will have a police escort and a rest stop with
refreshments. Slows to Go will provide a
barbecue lunch. Vegetarian options are
available. To register, go online to

Connor Creek Greenway is part of a larger
“Greenway Vision” in Southeast Michigan,
whose goal is to create a regional, linked
greenway network between Southeastern
Michigan communities.
Tour de Troit is a nonprofit organization that
produces cycling and running events to raise
awareness about the benefits of pedestrian
activities, including cycling, walking and
running. Cycle into Spring is Tour de Troit’s
fourth event of the year.
