Description

A roughly 100-mile tour of oddball locations around the edge of Chicago. The ride moves at roughly 10 MPH with plenty of stops for sightseeing, snacking and skinny-dipping.

Here's a write-up that will give you an idea of what to expect: http://tinyurl.com/perimeterride

No pre-registration needed or ride fee, but a $10 donation to the Greater Chicago Food Depository is requested on the day of the ride.

The ride ends some time after midnight at The Handlebar.

Too much going on this year :(

Yep, so we'll enter the lakefront south of North Avenue, avoiding the War and Slaughter show.

Yeah, we'll probably stop in Pullman. I may look into your suggestion.

Oh my gosh this is fast approaching.  I have to be downtown by 5 PM so I will unfor only be doing part of the ride.  Maybe meet back up at the end of the ride.

There's a Groupon for Superdawg TODAY! I'm posting by mobile and am too sleepy to pay attention. Does the fine print say no Saturdays? Eh. Get it anyway :)

I'll not be missing Marauders, I'll leave when I need to in time to get home, pack supplies, etc.

Craig and Ed, you're both crazy. (I might attempt to do that too.)
Comment by Ed on August 4, 2011 at 12:47pm
I was planning on both. 24 hour riding marathon.

This is Marauders Saturday. Who aside from me is doing both?

Probably somewhere near Calumet Beach. The ride guide may just recommend a few places nearby (Calumet Fisheries, Skyway Dogs, Aguas Blancas, the Mexican food carts and stand at the beach) and we'll reconvene at the beach house. But I'm open to suggestions.

 

In general, let me know if anyone has any ideas for interesting landmarks to check out along the way...
