The Ride is for cyclists seeking camaraderie of a spirited and athletic group exploring the northwestern suburbs of Chicago, without pressure to keep up with those training for competition. A fast and challenging ride in a supportive, welcoming group. Learn or practice paceline riding skills. Traffic laws will be observed. No one will be “dropped.” The distance will be approx. 50 miles in 3 hours and the route will vary based on the input of those who show up at the start. Meet at Grove and Sherman (by the Italian Coffee Bar) in Evanston for 50 mi. at a steady, brisk pace.
