Meeting place

Map of the Ride


The Andersonville and Uptown areas are notable for the wide variety of eras and styles that are present. The ride has several versions that might manifest based off of group size and enthusiasm. There architectural examples in the area are splendid and the crisp weather will be a perfect backdrop for our first winter ride. Cheers and hope to see you out there!

Hey everyone. We are doing our tour this month a little bit differently...for one it will start early, for another it will be in costume, and for third, it will be our first partnership with West Town Bikes. Photos are already posted here:

Is there a tour this month? I thought I heard something about North park but haven't seen anything here.

Here is the discussion for the Lincoln Square ride and it includes a map you can print or study and explore, a turn by turn directions with map, and the beginnings of picture sharing from two research rides. Cheers.
