Description

Celebrate Bike to Work Week by joining us on a scavenger hunt on Thursday, June 22 at 5:30 pm. Registration $30 per team. Registration will be limited at the event to cash-only donations.

Starting Point!

We'll be starting in the park across from the Sears Tower (Ferris was in the 80s so it's NOT Willis Tower yet!). ~320 West Jackson BLVD between Wacker and Franklin on the South side of the street. Be there at 5:30 pm to register and get your packet! All updates will be posted on this event and on the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/events/1347394458700770/ Also, if you haven't yet registered, definitely REGISTER now! It'll be CASH ONLY at the event.

The ride will have five (5) stops around downtown and each checkpoint will have a Ferris Bueller's Day Off related task to complete. Teams of two (2) will participate by completing the tasks at 5 stops around downtown (no speed contest, this will be focused on bike safety!). The event will end at a bar downtown for Chainlink Bar Night with a raffle for participants that finished with all five checkpoints completed.

The Scavenger Hunt will begin shortly after 5:30 pm and conclude at 7:30 pm. Winners will be announced at Chainlink Bar Night at El Hefe at 8 pm.

Bike Safely! Helmets required. Follow the rules of the road.

Style/Costume Contest: Teams encouraged to dress in their best 80s style and compete for "best dressed".

Comment by Jack Crowe on June 14, 2017 at 6:39am: I wasn't seriously suggesting it, I just wanted to bring up that the band is playing on JULY 22nd.

Also, you should have gotten them to put on a private show!

Comment by Yasmeen on June 14, 2017 at 6:38am: Jack! Because it's been in the plans for months now and we're SO excited to have it next week. You really should DO EEET!

Comment by Jack Crowe on June 14, 2017 at 6:33am: Could we delay this a month and have it end at the Save Ferris concert in Tinley Park?
