WEATHER PERMITTING

(READ TO THE END FOR IMPORTANT INFO)

This event is cross posted to Lake County Bicycle Group, ONLY SIGN UP IN ONE GROUP!

Join us for a 24 mile (total) fun ride from the Kenosha Marina up to Racine for the Annual Greek Festival hosted by Kimissis Tis Theotokou Greek Orthodox Church. The Festival is renown for great homemade greek food served al fresco under a huge tent.

There is a 60 mile option available with Lake County Cycling Collective. Please sign up on the LC3 RWGPS Group page.

We will be meeting with friends from the Kenosha area who will join us and some will assist in managing our ride. This is an awesome, fun, ride...!!!

Get to the Marina Parking Lot (north or south lots) and meet over at the restrooms just east of the parking lot. We will roll at 10:00 a.m.

This is a 25 mile (round trip) no-drop ride at a 10-14 MPH pace over paved bike trails and roadways. The 10-14 MPH pace will allow us to cover the ride up in, approximately, 90 minutes and the same on the return. We will regroup at a few places along the ride so no one gets dropped.

You MUST be able to maintain a 10 MPH average speed to join this ride. If you are uncertain you can maintain a 10 MPH average speed please contact me.
