Description

This night tour of the Loop focuses on impressive features of the dark in the Downtown section of Chicago known as the Loop. Community Area #32, The Loop is bordered by Lake Michigan on the east, by the Chicago River on the north and west and by Roosevelt Road on the south, and within this small area exists dozens of national and city landmarks, and canyons of skyscrapers, set on top of double and triple leveled streets, intersected and sharing space with el trains. It is the seat of government for the city of Chicago and Cook County.

Unlike the free tour of the Loop (June 15), this ride will focus on the most impressive architectural elements of the area that stand out at night. We will take upper and lower streets, we will see lakefront and walls of vintage skyscrapers in the most concentrated area of landmark buildings in the world.

The ride is $10 at the start of the ride and you must wear a helmet and have front and rear lights to ride.

Comment by Lee Diamond on July 6, 2012 at 7:02am: 97 at lakefront at 1:00 PM. Hmmmm. Only 6 hours left for it to drop 85 degrees and drop two feet of snow on the Loop.

Starting to doubt my earlier predictions.

3-4 hours depending on speed of group, rain and departure time, which has been known to be of a flexible duration.
