Description

A relaxed ride along the Lakefront Path and Burnham Greenway to South Chicago, Hegewisch and across the border to Indiana.

 

* Vast amounts of delicious food prepared by little old ladies 

* Veg friendly

* Polka music and dancing

* Mr. Pierogi and the Piroguettes

* Shaded beer garden with live music

* The best festival "relief facilities" ever (air conditioned, running water and clean!)

 

We explore the South Side, always have rockstar parking at the festival and delude ourselves into thinking the ride balances out our food intake.  Bring a lock, water, sunscreen and some cash for starchy delights.

riding a bike to a festival involve yummy food is extremely relevant to his interests.  It took no convincing beyond sending a link to the event for him to join me.

Would love to go on this and I'd bring Hooch in a Pouch again.  I'll be in Iowa.
