TRIP DESCRIPTION
Explore the beauty of the extensive forest preserves in the Southwest Burbs. The group will ride through the Southside neighborhoods of Beverly and Mt. Greenwood and eventually arrive to the Cal Sag Trail. From there, the group will wind through the trails of the forest preserves. Along the route, there will be plenty of breaks and will even have a picnic before arriving to Camp Sullivan.
As all of Out Our Front Door’s rides celebrate this beautiful corner of the earth we call home, organizers acknowledge the many people who have lived here before 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 on this journey.
