Pretty exciting!

That is appropriate as it is National Trails Day. It is also the same day as the Ribbon-Cutting celebration for the Cal Sag Trail. Welcome to summer in Chicago - the time when we are swamped with overlapping choices for great bikey stuff to do and celebrate!

6/06. Very clever. Luckily, that is a Saturday to get the biggest crowds at opening.

I skimmed this whole article, but couldn't find the answer-- is the park going to have bathrooms?

Jessica Maxey-Faulkner, a Park District Spokeswoman said, "restrooms aren't currently in the design for the 606, but we will consider this community request. "

For the 606 grand opening, I'm bringing along the free gift that I received during 'my' recent 'tune-up' visit.
