Perimeter Ride #19 / 100+ mi @10-15+ mph / John Loesch

A slow roll ride around the perimeter of Chicago. Plan on all day and into the night. Many stops. Can bail out at any time via CTA. Lights are mandatory. Positive attitude also required. Meet at Buckingham Fountain at 8 AM, will actually roll at 9:00 AM. Hopefully done by 10 PM, May take longer. <br /><br />The Best Ride of the Year!&#174;<br />A daylong clockwise ride around Our Fair City. No registration, no support vehicles, no tyvek numbers, no team jerseys, no reason but for the ride!<br />We meet at Buckingham Fountain after 8am and roll at 9am, riding South until we run out of city, then West for a beer, then North for snacks, then East through some woods then back to the start again.<br />This is a moderately paced ride.<br />Someone will ride their fixie, but most folks use their commuters or touring bikes. If you ride several days a week, but have never done a full Century Ride, come on along, you&#39;ll do fine!<br />When you feel like you&#39;re done, you can always hop on the CTA or Metra and head back to the start or home. If you want to make it a full 100 miles, you can do a few laps around the fountain at the end until your odometer ticks over.<br />Make sure you have room to bring water and snacks and a spare tube or two.<br />We can handle minor mechanical issues, but make sure you give your ride a good tune-up first.<br />We won&#39;t drop you alone, but if we can&#39;t get you rolling we&#39;ll have to put you on the CTA.<br />There are multiple stops for food and such, most are cash-only.
