Description

This ride will visit some of the low points of the Techny basin in southern Northbrook and northeast Glenview. We'll see two large retention basins, discover how to get to REI or Whole Foods safely by bike, see the "natural" roof of the Glenview Prairie Preserve, and contrast areas that have turned their back on the river from those that are now embracing it.

The ride leaves from Chandler-Newberger Community Center. The street address is 1028 Central St., Evanston, although the building itself is nearer to Lincoln St. There is ample on-street parking available on Lincoln St. in Evanston on weekends.

This is a SLOW PACED ride (10-12 mph cruising speed) of 24 miles. This ride is sponsored by the Evanston Bicycle Club, although you do not need to be a member. There is no charge. There will be a food stop.
