Chicago has over 600 parks and we will visit 5 of these diverse open spaces the best way possible–by bike. This tour will head south to explore Humboldt Park, Garfield Park, Douglas Park, Union Park then head back north along the Chicago lakefront path through beaches and Lincoln Park before returning to Earth Rider. Bring money and a lock for a lunch stop at Palace Grill Restaurant, 1408 W Madison, a classic diner and the oldest restaurant in Chicago’s west loop. This social ride will be at a moderate 10-14 mph pace for a total of 20 miles round trip and will be led by Karen and Vance du Rivage. Bike rentals available for a fee by calling 773-360-1816.
