The Saturday ride meets 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 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 the breakfast stop. Please meet us at the Totem pole, It's a great way to check out the club.
