Description

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

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)
New this year: attended bike parking, courtesy of South Shore Trails!

We explore the South Side, make beach stops and always have rock star parking at the festival. Bring a lock, water, sunscreen and cash for starchy delights.

that day, but I might go out there the next day!

Comment by Laura on July 26, 2012 at 10:06pm: I could use a day with no responsibilities

Comment by globalguy on July 26, 2012 at 11:22am: Not to put too fine a point on it but CCC usually scorches down, stays as long as it takes to wolf a pirogi plate, then passes us on our way down ...

Comment by millenial removing Bernie tattoo on July 24, 2012 at 5:40pm: Currently Saturday is forecast to have a high of.... 81! No heat to miss (finally)!!!!

Comment by Loan L. on July 24, 2012 at 5:17pm: Oh, if we left earlier, we'd have more time to get there and avoid the heat, and the ride would be truly "relaxed" :)
