As mentioned before, this year's Ride Along from Chicago will be departing from Millennium Park at 10am on Sunday June 12th. The Ride Along has two distance options, either 15 miles to Evanston, or the full 28 miles to Highland Park. Food and beverages will be provided to all participants and there is a suggested donation of $10 to participate in the ride along. A helmet is required for all participants.
