Event Description:
Ride the Lakefront as well as some interesting areas on the near S. side of the city. This is a family friendly outing, so plan on slow speeds and negotiating around kids, although everyone is welcome. The route length will be determined by the abilities of the ride participants, but plan on roughly 6 miles. Finish at Navy Pier (Haagen Daz ice cream parlor). There are free fireworks at 10:15pm. All participants should have a helmet and lights on their bikes. Safety vests are encouraged.

Location:
Meet at the foot of the main steps of the Shedd Aquarium (W. side of museum) at 6 pm. There are many public transportation options (Metra train, CTA buses and the L). Parking is available on Solidarity Drive for $1/hour (meters; bring quarters), or you can choose to park in the garage at Navy Pier and roll to the ride start (plan on 30 min. to get there).
