PGA Tour Courage Award goes to Erik Compton

The former leaders of the "Bike the Bridge" tour say they've turned to Tour de Troit to plan Sunday's international cycling event. The 20-mile international ride starts at southwest Detroit's Clark Park, crosses the bridge to Windsor, Ontario, and heads back to Michigan. Registration for this year's ride is closed because the 150-rider limit has been reached. Plans are in the works for the 2014 "Bike the Bridge" event. Next year it will start in Canada and include a tour through Windsor.
