Our shortest day to date – we logged 1.8nm to Detroit, 42° 21’.23N 82° 58’.20W. We had to clear customs yesterday in Canada and again today in the US. By the time that was done it was midday, and time for a bike ride to explore Detroit. We followed our noses towards downtown. The first road was interesting – nice houses and buildings on the south side nearest the river, but pretty run down places on the other side of the road. Then we discovered a riverside bike path that was partly built. The bits that were in place were very nice, but we kept hitting dead ends and had to backtrack to the roads to find the next riverside section. The trail eventually took us to downtown Detroit and was a nice ride. We pootled around a bit, found the theatre district, GreekTown and financial district. Detroit has many different neighbourhoods, some very nice, some very run down.
