This fall, the cello-playing, singer-song writer Ben Sollee and his crew will hit the much-anticipated 5,000-mile mark on their Ditch the Van tour. Kicking off their fifth year touring on two wheels, the soulful crooner and his band will bring their Xtracycles and their smooth, intoxicating sounds to major US cities--starting right here in Chi-Town. Join Nau and REI as we host Ben in Lincoln Park, where he will give an exclusive performance and lead a utility cycling workshop. The workshop will cover routing techniques, stories from the road, and the gear used to make it all possible. We'll choose a few lucky people to win some new Nau wares, and then we'll join Ben and crew as they coast out of town.
