Note that there's a half marathon that morning between Grant Park and Promontory Point, so if you plan on taking the Lakefront trail to get to the ride, expect some delays.

Thanks, Jordan!

We have a route for this Sunday's ride!

We'll go south along Lakeshore Drive, west along the northern edge of Jackson Park, north on Cornell, west on 51st under the viaduct to Blackstone, north on Blackstone to the Blackstone Public Library, south on Dorchester past Kenwood Park, west on 50th to Greenwood, for a glimpse of Obama's house and the secret service, north on Greenwood to 49th, then back east on 49th to Kenwood Park. 

There are playgrounds at Kenwood Park and a water feature, and the kids can play after the ride. It will be about lunch time, so consider bringing a picnic.

FYI -- your post was approved and just went through. Sorry for the typo in my previous comment, but you seem to have undone it!

I hadn't!  But I googled it, and submitted an announcement this evening.  It has to get passed through the moderator, so I'm not sure when it will post.

Tentative destination for this Sunday's ride is Kenwood Park, near the Blackstone Public Library between 49th and 50th.  If memory serves, they have a water feature, and we can highlight the library and maybe also Obama's house.  I'll post a route after I've done a test run.

Elizabeth -- have you considered advertising this ride on the UChicago student patents email list?

If there are any destinations you'd love to see us pass along the way, please make suggestions!  Schools, Libraries, playgrounds, community centers ... If you suggest something, we'll try to build a route that incorporates it.
