Description
A relaxed ride along the Lakefront Path and Burnham Greenway to South Chicago, Hegewisch and across the border to Indiana.
* Vast amounts of delicious food prepared by little old ladies
* Veg friendly
* Polka music and dancing
* Mr. Pierogi and the Piroguettes
* Shaded beer garden with live music
* The best festival "relief facilities" ever (air conditioned, running water and clean!)
We explore the South Side, always have rockstar parking at the festival and delude ourselves into thinking the ride balances out our food intake. Bring a lock, water, sunscreen and some cash for starchy delights.

For those who may have missed it - particularly Ryan:

Great ride yesterday. I ate too much, I drank too much, and it was all excellent!
Looking forward to next year - now where can I find pierogies up here on the north side...

A big thanks to everyone for a fantastic ride yesterday! Special mention goes to Pirogi John for planning and leadership as well as the Vulgar Lad for emergency repairs!

Oops, got a chance to do a MetraCycle trip to Milwaukee and back. But, I may oversleep.

Mmmmm.....pierogies! Fun fact: Ning's spellchecker suggests 'groupies' in place of 'pierogies'.
