Description

Organized 11 years ago by the venerable John Greenfield, this beloved annual ride takes an moderate pace for a 100 mile route around the edge of our beautiful city.

An excellent first "Century" ride with it's many CTA bail-out options for peace of mind, this ride is perfect for those who think they might, but aren't sure yet that they can handle a full 100 miles in a day. (Spoiler Alert--Turns out, you totally can!)

John is stepping aside this year to work on other rides, so some of us that love this ride are keeping the tradition alive with a few minor alterations.

Start getting excited, start getting your friends excited, and stay tuned here for emerging details!

Meet-up time--8:00 am, y'all!

This is more or less as pre-ridden, and aside from a couple of somewhat troublesome construction bits, it's all totally rideable.

Comment by David of the North (David606xx) on September 21, 2012 at 11:20am: Community Spirit! Some folks always want to race ahead, and that's just fine. We'll have a couple of people riding "Sweep" to make sure nobody gets left behind with a breakdown. For the most part it's the sparkling conversation that holds a ride like this together.

So! the early weather forecast looks pretty great! Let your friends know about this, let's get as many people out as we can muster!

Comment by Aaron Bussey on September 21, 2012 at 9:38am: We ride 10-12 mph. It's not as hard as it would seem. It's super fun though!

Comment by Lanterne Rouge on September 21, 2012 at 9:23am: I'm just curious David - how do you (potentially) keep a group of 43 or more people together?

Comment by David of the North (David606xx) on September 18, 2012 at 11:54am: Noooooo! Make her come on the ride and EARN that spa day!

Comment by Liz on September 18, 2012 at 11:47am: Its my best friend's birthday and she wants to do a spa day :( :( :( :(

I'm sooooooo sad I'll be missing this.

Excited about a stop at Chicago Velo Campus--if the weather's nice, they'll put on a show for us!
