Default Chicago Bike Ride

Sunday August 7, 2005

Wanna ride the Chicago River Trail? Friends of the Chicago River has added a bike ride to the list of activities to the 6th Annual Chicago River Flatwater Classic. The bike ride is perfect for families and adventurers of all ages with a choice of either a short 10 mile or a longer 25 mile looped street/bike path route. Both routes start and finish at Ping Tom Memorial Park in Chinatown.

Along the noncompetitive course, riders will head south passing through Washington Park, Jackson Park, the University of Chicago and then north along the lakefront path circling back towards the park along Wacker Drive Downtown with scenic views of the river along the way.

Depending upon the route chosen, participants will view both manmade and natural sites including the beautiful Chicago skyline, the Chicago River, Lake Michigan, The Fairmont Hotel, and the Museum campus.

Towards the Finish, riders will even catch glimpses of paddlers as they participate in the final stretches of the Flatwater Paddle.

The riding portion of the Flatwater Classic begins at 9 a.m. with all riders expected to complete the course by 3 p.m.

Fee for the Chicago River Flatwater Classic Pedal is $35 for adults and $15 for children up to 15 years. Friends' members receive a $5 discount. For more information visit www.chicagoriver.org or call (312) 939-0490x10.
