Description

Enjoy a beautiful fall day riding around Chicago visiting some of the city's Buddhist hotspots. We will begin with a meditation sitting at the Zen Buddhist Temple at 8:30 a.m., head to Dinkel’s Bakery for carbs and coffee at 9 a.m., then hit the road for a day of exploration. The ride is roughly 46 miles, but the route is set so that those who prefer can jump on the El at the 10 & 25 mile marks or can finish at the 30 mile mark, when we will pass through Lakeview not far from the temple.

The ride will be at a 10-12 mph pace so that everybody can keep up. There will be plenty of rest stops along the way including Buddhist temples, Chinatown, Japenese Gardens, a Korean Buddhist vegan restaurant for a late lunch and some zen surprises along the way. Bike decorating is encouraged.

Comment by Amy Y on October 8, 2010 at 5:27pm: I think I can make it part of the ride...have other obligations later in the day but would definitely like to do part of it

Comment by Ross Tierney on October 6, 2010 at 3:32pm: Thanks for everyone's interest! if we do it again, I'll let you all know. As far as hopping in late, we'll be at the Osaka Gardens around noon, Midwest Buddhist Temple (North & Wells-ish) around 1:30 and Chua Truc Lam (Ashland/Wilson) around 2. Shoot me a message if you want to join late.

Comment by Adam "Cezar" Jenkins on October 6, 2010 at 1:42am: Same with me. If this were another weekend, maybe on a Sunday (but most Saturdays are fine) I'd be all over this. As it is, I may make it.

Comment by thang van ung on October 5, 2010 at 7:30pm: is it possible to hook up with the ride between 11a and noon?
what is the sequence of the temples on the ride?

Comment by BalloonBiker on October 5, 2010 at 6:09am: I too wish that this ride were repeated.

Comment by Julie Aberman (Hochstadter) on October 5, 2010 at 6:03am: yeah, can you do a another tour again soon?

Comment by Spencer "Thunderball" Thayer! on October 1, 2010 at 7:51am: Any other day and I would jump on this chance. But I may not be able to make it do to a previous commitment.
