Cruising to Chicago!


What an amazing week! We past our toughest day of cycling yet in Indiana, as we travelled 115miles from Grand Rapids, OH to Huntington, IN. The distance coupled with a strong headwind made the day's ride extremely challenging. Luckily we had a day off in Huntington, and the great parish of the Evangelical United Methodist Church took amazing care of us- arranging showers at the local YMCA, preparing meals for us, and being geniunely welcoming.

While the wind remained strong for the next two days, it fortunately changed directions, giving our team a great tailwind as we road to Winamac and Chesterton, IN.

Everyone on the team is excited for our arrival in downtown Chicago today- we are arriving at the Cloud Gate in Millennium Park at 1pm today!

Saturday and Sunday are exceptional days, where supporters and friends will be joining our team as we cycle from Homewood, IL to the U of I campus in Champaign, IL. If you'd like to join us for a day or an hour, please click here for more info . A group of riders will even be joining us in Rantoul, IL for the last leg of our ride in Champaign on Sunday, June 10th. If you'd like to join the group, meet us at 1pm this Sunday at the intersection fo Sangamon St and Century Blvd in Rantoul, IL.
