Cycling Sisters

Show your civic Cyling pride! Help the Cycling Sisters work the package pickup service for Bike the Drive. Bonus: If you volunteer for 6 hours, you can get a free entry into BoA Bike The Drive! This is hosted at the Merchandise Mart. You can find bike parking just outside the upper level entrance on Kinzie (or you can park on Wells).

We need to organize for this so we have even coverage for the event.
Please contact Kathy Schubert at: kangarookathy at yahoo.com or 773 248 5499 to confirm.

Merchandise Mart; on Kinzie, between Franklin and Wells Streets (just N. of the Chicago River).

Come join a bunch of school kids from Lincoln and Whittier Elementary Schools, their parents, and the Blue Island Bicycle Club for our annual clean-up day in Whistler Woods and on the Major Taylor Trail. This is a wonderful, family-friendly event that inspires you to get back in touch with nature. It also reaffirms a faith in community spririt and activism. Join us for two hours of hard work, laughter, and interesting discoveries about the natural world. Wear clothing appropriate for the weather and foot gear that doesn't mind getting muddy.

Meet in the parking lot of Whistler Woods in Riverdale, IL, at 10 am. This is the terminus of the Major Taylor Bike Trail. Look for the school bus of kids and/or the bike crew. The BIBC focuses on the trail while the students focus on the area around the parking lot and the woods to the West and East. Many people bike in to the event down the MTT or from Blue Island (Memorial Park field house). There are many public transportation options to the general area, especially if you have a bike.

On Sunday, May 6th, 6:30 PM at Mercury Cafe - Cycling Sisters (and anybody else) are invited to hear Marie Jarrell, Physical Therapist and representative of Team in Training.

Marie will give an excellent lecture I have heard previously at Momentum (Running store on Clybourn) - about osteoporosis. I learned so much that I didn't know already. And I also got a
Sahara Bone Density Screening - free!!! Marie will bring her bone density screening equipment for us, tell us how to protect against the brittle bone disease calledosteoporosis and also talk about Team in Training.
