Tomorrow!  Last ride of the season!  Temps will be hitting the low 30's, and the wind will be relatively light out of the southwest.  It is shaping up to be a great ride and a great day.

How beautiful is it to tell your story in a way that captures your essence - what you do & why you do it??? This is the incredibly beautiful story of Slow Roll Chicago, produced by our friend and avid cyclist Jay Shefsky at WTTW Channel 11. Thank you kindly Jay! Congrats and salute to you on the work...

Peace Slow Rollers - One word: WOW!

Several words: We are deeply inspired by what we've achieved in less than 2 months. And, we are incredibly fortunate to have all of you on this journey together with us. We love and appreciate our incredible ‪#‎SquadChicago‬ team and the entire extended ‪#‎SlowRollCHI‬ family. We did this together! We will soon share a more formal, detailed season wrap up with everyone along with our plans to keep our #SlowRollCHI community connected through the winter.
