Bike The Drive, Memorial Day Weekend

If you like biking and will be in or near Chicago on May 24, this is a great event and a once-a-year opportunity to experience Lake Shore Drive from a bike.





You can do the whole loop (30 miles) or choose either the north or south portion for a 15 mile ride. They%26#39;ll start shooing bikers off the drive at about 9:30 or so, as it reopens to traffic at 10am. (So start early, especially if you bring the kids.)





This will be our 4th year doing the ride. When we started, our youngest was 7 and did it on a bike with no gears. So it%26#39;s definitely do-able for a variety of ages!

Bike The Drive, Memorial Day Weekend


This will also be our 4th year doing the ride. This is a very fun, organized event. Each year there are more riders, I believe there were close to 22,000 last year. After the ride there is a pancake breakfast and an after ride party. Awesome time. Looking forward to this year.
