Trip Description
Explore the beauty of our extensive forest preserves in the Southwest Burbs. We will ride through the southside neighborhoods of Beverly and Mt. Greenwood and eventually arrive to the Cal Sag Trail. From there, we will wind through the trails of the forest preserves. Along the route, we will take plenty of breaks and will even have a picnic before arriving to Camp Sullivan.
As all of our rides celebrate this beautiful corner of the earth we call home, we acknowledge the many people who have lived here before us and seek to promote Indigenous perspectives into all we do. This ride is a celebration of this idea in practice. We have much to learn (and unlearn) and hope you will join us on this journey.
