Description

Join us for 13th annual Perimeter Ride of Chicago!

Buckingham Fountain. Ride meets at 8 am and promply leaves at 8:30 am

This is a moderately paced ride so leave your scorcher at home.

We will be meeting at the Buckingham Fountain and head south, then west, then north, then east and finally south again encompassing the vast perimeter of one of the greatest cities in the world, Chicago!

This is a (near) century! Bring a bike that is in good working order and has decent tires on it, the south and west sides have some glass issues that are beyond our control. Bring plenty of water and clothing that you can layer up with when the sun goes down. Finally bring cash for the food stops. This ride ends after dark. If you are planning to ride the whole thing, PLEASE ALSO BRING LIGHTS.

Leg II (Argus to Rainbo Cone)

David - I was able to pull up Leg I of the maps but the other link did not work.  I personally enjoy a little mystery, but I thought you might want to know.

David, when you get back to it, the link to the second leg does not seem to work.  Of course, maybe it is just me.

Hi David - Are we still planning to come across the North suburbs on Touhy as in the past?  (I'll need to peel off somewhere up there and am just trying to plan.)  Thanks.

Here are some maps for this year's ride:

Leg I Buckingham Fountain to Pullman

Leg II--Pullman to Rainbow Cone

I'll try to get some more of the route together tomorrow.

I am really excited for this ride! Is anyone else doing the North Shore Century on Sunday?

I'll be doing it for the first time this year. Hoping to make it fully through. Looking forward to it!

Anne Alt - Great!  It will be good to see you again!  This ride is becoming a "Who's Who" of Chicago biking!  :-)
