Cycling Sisters

Event Description:
This is a wonderfully varied and mostly uninterrupted ride along the lakefront trail, on street bike lanes, and the Burnham Greenway (paved trail) to the improbably beautiful Wolf Lake. The sights will change so quickly before your eyes that we'll reach our destination before you know it, and when you see it, you won't believe we're still in the city. We'll enjoy the view (and plumbing) for a quick pit stop then head back and swing through another little gem on the way.
Invite *your* cycling sisters and join us! And if you plan to join us, please email me so I know to look for you at 8:00.

Location:
Ride starts at 57th Street Beach House.
The 57th Street Beach House is on the lakefront trail, between the lake and the Museum of Science and Industry in the Hyde Park neighborhood.
This map shows the 57th Street underpass which is right at the beach house:

Event Description:
Ever wanted to experiment in new cuisines, or visit a part of the city you've never been to? Or perhaps this is a personal favorite that hasn't been visited in a while?
Come join us on a ride to Devon Street on the far N. side of the city. Experience the splendors of S. Central Asia when we ride our bikes to the charming Indian Garden restaurant (http://tinyurl.com/err5u) for lunch in the heart of this exotic Indian/Pakistani neighborhood. The sights and smells of Devon are intriguing. Incredible jewelry stores, unusual groceries, interesting sari shops... You'd swear you are in a different country!

Location:
Meet at the feet of the Brachiosaurus on the NW corner of the terrace of the Field Museum. The views of the city can be spectacular, so think about bringing a camera.
