This is a self-supported dis-organized slower casual ride with no SAG.
The plan is:
Meet at the beginning of the Lower Rouge Park MUP on US-12/Michigan Ave. in Dearborn.
Ride the MUP to connect with Hines Drive.
Ride Hines Drive to the Plymouth/Northville area, have lunch.
Return by the same route. Estimated distance is 40 to 45 miles.
Edit: The estimated distance may be long because I based it on my own rides which include an extra 5 miles on each end. Actual distance may be 30 - 35 mi.
Hines Drive is closed to motor vehicle traffic on Saturdays from 9 AM - 3 PM between Outer Drive and Ann Arbor trail.
Here is a satellite view of the meeting point for those not familiar with it.
The meeting point will be the parking lot east of Andiamos Restaurant on US 12/Michigan Ave. in Dearborn. (Highlited in green on the map.)
This lot is public parking and can get full on Saturdays.
The parking lot on the west side is valet parking for Andiamos and not available. (Highlited in red.)
Just west of Andiamos is a Quality Inn that is closed for renovation, extra parking is available there. (Highlited in blue.)
