Update:

Le Tour de Shore 2016 registration is now open.

This year ride features those things that are best…

  • Bike techs at SAG Stops.
  • Enroute SAG support vehicles.
  • Chris Cakes flipping hot off the griddle pancakes at SAG Stop 1 Wolf Lake.  
  • The “best I ever had” PB&J’s at SAG Stop 2 Oak Ridge Prairie Park.
  • New “Nuts on Lincoln” at SAG Stop 3 Porter Bank Cupola Park. Same location as last year. 
  • Hey Campers! The Rolling Stonebaker is back. Wood fire oven pizza. Gourmet ingredients. 
  • Staying at the Spring House Inn? The Spa Speakeasy and Restaurant will be open for drinks and dinner.  The bar is awesome!
  • Coffee and donuts to start your Day 2 ride. 
  • End of Ride Beach Barbeque. Hamburger, veggie-burger, and hot dogs cooked to perfection by Mr. Ernie and Ms. Lois.
  • New “Bus Ride back to McGaffer’s Saloon Forest Park, IL”.  Big data told us this bus will sell out.
  • Sorry sentimentalists. We dropped Al & Sally Motel. This 60’s era served us well for many years, but its location makes dining difficult.
  • Sign-up to Ride and Camp soon. Last year, all 80 camping spots sold out in 24 days.
  • ·Ride Limit: 500
