This is absolutely my favorite big ride in Chicago - a wide range of city neighborhoods, a great mix of people, live entertainment, food, and fun. This year's 20th anniversary event is happening this Sunday 9/7. It's not too late to register. Registrations are accepted up to the start of the ride.
It starts at the University of Chicago, within easy riding distance of the CTA red line, if you prefer not to drive. It's even a Climate Neutral event (the first of its kind in Chicago). There's a route for every ability: 15 mile family ride, 35 mile main route, and 62 mile (metric century) route. For the first time, the 62 mile route visits Beverly and Morgan Park.
The Ride Guide will point the way and offer details on Chicago’s rich history and main points of interest along the route. The post-ride festival will feature live entertainment, picnic lunch and drinks by Goose Island Brew Pub.
Registration includes:
• Event T-shirt and post-ride festival
• Volunteer support and five rest/water stops on the course
• Ride guide with points of interest along the route
• Scavenger hunt for raffle prizes
• Live entertainment at the festival
If you'd like to support the event but can't ride, please volunteer.
Either way, I hope we'll see you out there on Sunday!
