DIA Art Along the Macomb-Orchard Bicycle Trail

The Macomb Orchard bicycle trail running from Rochester out through Romeo, Armada and ultimately Richmond is in and of itself a beautiful Michigan treasure.  But now the DIA is embellishing the ride with an art exhibit.  Ride your bike and view some art along the way.  Here are some details from Kristin Bull at the Rochester Patch:
The tour is free; all you need is a bike. Here's how it will work:
  • 9 a.m. — Cyclists will meet at Starkweather Arts Center in Romeo to bike to downtown Rochester.
  • 10 a.m. — The Rochester part of the tour begins at the Downtown Farmers Market. Afterward, participants can have lunch on their own downtown before riding to Romeo.
  • 1:30 p.m. — Bike tour resumes at Westview Orchards & Cider Mill in Romeo.
  • 3:30 p.m. — Tour concludes back where it started, at Starkweather Arts Center.
Participants don't have to go on the entire tour; they can join the tour at any time, or just take the Rochester-to-Romeo trek. DIA staff will be on hand to act as tour guides for the artwork.
