Get on your bikes and ride!
Destination Downriver is thrilled to partner with Under the Radar Michigan to host our 2nd annual Tour de Tom bike ride! This year, the tour will feature a special Pure Michigan Trail Town mini tour of our Downriver region all while raising funds for the Downriver Linked Greenways! Join us as we welcome PBS hit TV show Under the Radar Michigan’s host Tom Daldin and producer Jim Edelman, who will lead the way from Downtown Trenton on an E-Z roll along paved trailways and streets through Trenton, Gibraltar, and Brownstown. Riders will experience North America’s only International Wildlife Refuge, Elizabeth Park and nautical Gibraltar before pedaling back to Downtown Trenton to enjoy unique shopping, food and drink specials at local businesses on the route. Those looking to extend their mileage can explore Lake Erie Metropark or head towards Flat Rock before returning to Downtown Trenton.
Thank you to our partners Downriver Linked Greenways, Pure Michigan Trenton Trail Town, City of Trenton, The Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge and the International Wildlife Refuge Alliance, City of Gibraltar, Brownstown Township, City of Flat Rock, Downriver Family YMCA, Friends of the Detroit River, the Huron-Clinton Metroparks, Petri Bikes, and the Southern Wayne County Regional Chamber!
The bike ride begins at 9 AM in Downtown Trenton. The ride will go along an approximate 15 mile round trip pathway. Register at the bottom of this page (limited to 100 riders)! The starting location will be provided to pre-registered attendees via email prior to the event date.

Includes cardio, laughs with Tom and Jim, and cool swag! Riders will stop at the “half-way point” located at the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge on Jefferson Ave. in Trenton, where restrooms and refreshments will also be available. After the ride, join us for an “afterglow” in Downtown Trenton, where participants can enjoy delicious local eateries, and a unique shopping experience!
All profits from the ride will go to fund Downriver Linked Greenways trail and waterway development projects.
We highly recommend the use of a certified helmet during the ride.
