So it's on Northerly Island this year. I remember hearing something along those lines last year, but didn't remember until I saw the promo for 2017. I took my toddler last year. It was his favorite thing all year. He still talks about it. I loaded up our trailer, my bike, and his trike in a car share, and after we did the group ride, he rode around the park all day. We stopped to get "daddy juice" as needed. 

Question: How kid friendly is this going to be? Looking online it looks like the whole thing is confined to the pavilion. My kid doesn't like loud noise... will there be any place to hide from the super loud music? As much as I like the Roots, it's more about him than me. I'm guessing there won't be a group ride this year? Where would it be? Just looking for more details and thoughts from anyone in the know. Thanks.
