Hyde Park Ride 
Totem Pole, end of Addison Ave. (10:00am)
Buckingham Fountain, Grant Park (10:40am)

Meet at 10 a.m. at the Totem Pole in Lincoln Park, (end of Addison Avenue.) The riders generally head south along the lakefront to the east side of Lakeshore Drive at Buckingham Fountain where they will meet up with the "Southerners" at about 10:40 a.m. Then the ride continues south, following the bike path all the way to Hyde Park for a breakfast stop before returning to Lincoln Park. This is a leisurely 30-mile round-trip ride for bikers at all levels and generally takes 45 minutes each way, not including breakfast stop. Meet us at the Totem pole, It's a great way to check out the club.

WCCC Goes (Back) to the Colorado Rockies

Ted is again organizing a return trip to the Colorado Rockies with the Front Rangers, a gay and lesbian social group in Denver, which goes on an annual excursion to Winter Park for off-road mountain biking, road biking, hiking and socializing. This is a totally different biking experience than anything Illinois has to offer, so sign up and give it a try.

Chicago River Ride
Downtown Chicago on the River, Location TBA 

The city of Chicago is planning on renting "river bikes" for use on the Chicago River. That’s right. Bikes that will actually 'float' on the river’s surface!  Details are not available yet, but be prepared to experience something very unique. 

Due to the tight timeline for when the proprietor expects to be operational and our scheduled date, we've chosen to postpone this event.  When we do get a firm date, we'll let you know via this page and email.  To get more info on this unique activity, go to www.riverbikes.com.

Email Clyde at [email protected] for more details or check the WCCC hotline.


Every Sunday
4 pm to ?
 
Sundays at Big Chicks
Big Chicks, 5024 North Sheridan Road, Chicago 

What better way to spend Sunday afternoons than with good company, good drink (vodka lemonades recommended) and delicious (FREE!) food... remember to thank owner Michelle Fire for supporting the WCCC.
