Description

20 miles, easy pace (10 to 14 mph)

Visit important spots and sites along the storied Chicago "L" with Greg Borzo, author of "The Chicago L" (Arcadia Publishing, 2007). Learn about the history of this great working antique and "track" some of the lines south, west and north. The "L" helped build Chicago and continues to contribute to the decline and/or development of the neighborhoods it serves. Come see the "L" in all its grit and glory. During or at the end of the ride, there will be a brief lunch stop at a suitable, quick restaurant, depending on the ride turnout and at the discretion of the ride leader. The ride is scheduled to last about 3 hours. Email a friend...

The tour is limited to 20 riders, so please contact the ride leader, Greg Borzo (contact info below), to get the starting point. The ride will start and end downtown.
