Detroit bike tour 2014

We are so crushed by the news of this great mans passing. One of my brother Tim's best friends his family were fixtures at many family events. So kind and gentle he always had a great story to tell or inquired that you regale him with one of your own. His absence will be deeply felt, will fittingly raise a glass in his honour. The attached picture is a crop from a casual bike tour of Detroit that Turkeys Tim, Ace, Murph, Rosemary and I took on a beautiful spring day in 2014. It was a wonderful trip traversing the empty neighbourhoods of Delray, Mexicantown (including their flea market and a great lunch in West-Delray), Corktown, a flat on Murp's little bike down by Joe Louis Arena, the riverfront to the Dequindre Cut. A tremendous carefree day as days like that should. We promised to do it again but we had never got back to it (6 years later). Cheers to you Tom, forever in our hearts ! Chris Burston
