Description


Jefferson Park, Chicago Community Area #11 is 10 miles northwest of the Loop. Nicknamed, the “Gateway to Chicago”, farmers once came from far and wide to sell their goods in Jefferson, named to honor Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson’s ideal location began as two Native American trails, grew to include the area’s earliest toll plank roads, and was thereafter augmented by rail and commuter lines. Today the area has a population of over 40,000, a tremendous amount of green space, historical homes and buildings throughout, and a namesake park on the National Register of Historic Places

Join us for a 16 mile casually paced ride through this unique northwestern Chicago community.

Ahhhhh.....90% chance of rain, overcast, winds between 14 and 19 mph and average tour-time temparature of around 35.75 degrees.  Perfect start to the winter tours!  Hope to see some of you there. - Cheers - Lee
