Description

Come join the BBC as we celebrate the power of the laboring classes on May Day!

We will start the day at "Red" Square Bar and Grill in Avondale, across the street from Kuma's, and will venture to many different areas of the city such as leftist landmarks, parks and other watering holes.

The route map will be posted soon and will include a picnic stop so be sure to bring some grub for your panniers!

See you all then!

Comment by rb on May 1, 2010 at 12:49am: i am about 50/50 for today, as my allergies are kicking in BIG time. I am really bummed. Hope I can see you all on the ride.

Comment by Carl on April 30, 2010 at 5:10pm: Any Tory worth his brandy knows about that bloody socialist down in Hyde Park! And yes, the Northside, with it's vast assortment of McMansions, McDonalds and McCondos is a cracking model of capitalism!

Comment by Julie Aberman (Hochstadter) on April 30, 2010 at 9:08am: sorry chaps, gotta work and then nurse my jetlag...if you were farther north it would be a different story. i guess the communists/socialists don't live on the north side :))

Comment by Aaron Bussey on April 30, 2010 at 2:57am: either at the picnic or riding through bridgeport

Comment by Jared on April 30, 2010 at 1:45am: I think I'll try to catch this ride mid-afternoon. Any idea where you'll be around 2-3?

Comment by globalguy on April 29, 2010 at 10:26am: The First Half

Starting at "Red" Square Bar where we have been promised drink specials and then onto Simone's, the pride of Pilsen. We will be stopping in between the two bars at the South Loop Whole Foods/Jewel Osco for lunch/picnic provisions as we ride to Buckingham Fountain and a group photo and picnic.

The Second Half

After that we will ride south through Bridgeport and past the Haymarket Police Monument at the CPD HQ. After Simone's those who want to can join us at the roller derby at UIC Pavilion.

Comment by globalguy on April 29, 2010 at 6:11am: And it
looks like the chance of rain is in steep decline! However, we may have to look out for Chicago's May Day March - Family Unity Day!

Comment by John on April 29, 2010 at 5:31am: I believe there is a stop planned at the Whole Foods at Roosevelt and Canal prior to the picnic in Grant Park. I'm going to bring a few things with me as I'll have my panniers on anyway.
