The Route & The Ride:
After cutting south on Hamilton Avenue, we’ll wend our way through the Boston-Edison Historical District before heading down MLK Jr. Blvd. and stopping at the Corktown Campus in Southwest Detroit for a bathroom/water break. From there, we’ll head east down Michigan Avenue through Corktown and into downtown, where we’ll make a stop at American and Lafayette Coney Islands for a bite to eat. After that, we’ll cut down to ride briefly along the river, swing past the Riverfront Campus on Jefferson Avenue. From there, we’ll cut north and cruise back through Midtown/Cass Corridor, then take Hamilton Avenue north to Oakman Boulevard. Finally, we’ll roll west down Puritan Avenue, turn north onto Livernois and re-enter the McNichols Campus through the Livernois Gate at about 11:30-11:45 p.m.
