Description

Join us for 13th annual Perimeter Ride of Chicago!

Buckingham Fountain. Ride meets at 8 am and promply leaves at 8:30 am

This is a moderately paced ride so leave your scorcher at home.

We will be meeting at the Buckingham Fountain and head south, then west, then north, then east and finally south again encompassing the vast perimeter of one of the greatest cities in the world, Chicago!

This is a (near) century! Bring a bike that is in good working order and has decent tires on it, the south and west sides have some glass issues that are beyond our control. Bring plenty of water and clothing that you can layer up with when the sun goes down. Finally bring cash for the food stops. This ride ends after dark. If you are planning to ride the whole thing, PLEASE ALSO BRING LIGHTS.

Comment by Maria Mastalerz on September 19, 2014 at 8:28am: David - I was able to pull up Leg I of the maps but the other link did not work. I personally enjoy a little mystery, but I thought you might want to know.

Comment by Lisa Curcio on September 18, 2014 at 10:25pm: David, when you get back to it, the link to the second leg does not seem to work. Of course, maybe it is just me.

Comment by Vic Sholis on September 18, 2014 at 9:00pm: Hi David - Are we still planning to come across the North suburbs on Touhy as in the past? (I'll need to peel off somewhere up there and am just trying to plan.) Thanks.

Comment by David of the North (David606xx) on September 18, 2014 at 8:12pm: Here are some maps for this year's ride:

Leg I Buckingham Fountain to Pullman

Leg II--Pullman to Rainbow Cone

I'll try to get some more of the route together tomorrow.

Comment by Joe Yeoman on September 18, 2014 at 12:37pm: I am really excited for this ride! Is anyone else doing the North Shore Century on Sunday?

Comment by Luke Allingham on September 16, 2014 at 9:08pm: I'll be doing it for the first time this year. Hoping to make it fully through. Looking forward to it!

Comment by Vic Sholis on September 16, 2014 at 6:37pm: Anne Alt - Great! It will be good to see you again! This ride is becoming a "Who's Who" of Chicago biking! :-)
