SUMMARY:Battle to the Dunes 2025 - Adult Overnight with Out Our Front Door out of Chicago\, IL
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”teammateRow”][vc_column width=”1/4″ el_class=”teammateImage”][vc_single_image image=”63835″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” image_hovers=”false”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″ el_class=”teammateDescription”][vc_row_inner el_class=”TeammateContent”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=””] \nRide Specifics\nMileage: Day 1: 75 Miles | Day 2: 55 miles \nSupport: Semi supported – you carry the majority of your own camping gear etc. on your own bike.

We will stay at Dunewood Campsite (IN Dunes National Park) located near Dunbar beach in Beverly Shores\, IN 46301 (map). \nPace: 12-15mph \nTrail/Route: Paved road with minimal gravel incorporated and possible snow. – cut this or add “all bikes and wheels sizes welcome” \nAge: Adult Ride (21+) \nTrip Description\nThis is a challenging yet very doable bike ride. For this ride\, Out Our Front Door guides will give you an in-depth tour of the South Eastern Chicago and Northwestern Indiana region. As the group travels from the heart of Chicago to Indiana Dunes State Park and back\, they will learn about the history of steel manufacturing\, the regional nature\, bridges\, beaches and dunes. \nThe Lake Michigan shoreline of Southern Chicago and Northwestern Indiana reveal the marks of a century-long conflict over land use in the region. Sand dunes\, steel mills\, power lines\, marshland\, and a commercial harbor battled for and shared a ten-mile stretch along the lakeshore. The group will learn about the struggle for a National Park and discover the birthplace of ecology\, the rise of steel manufacturing\, and the geological forces that shaped this land. \nLet’s travel back in time to the 1893’s World’s Fair as we cruise along Chicago’s world-class museum campuses\, Daniel Burnham Park \, Jackson Park and the beginnings of green spaces in Chicago. The group will pop into the famous Calumet Fisheries\, one of the last remaining wood-smoked seafood shacks in Illinois for a mouth-watering snack. \nAnd most important of all\, spend an evening enjoying that oh so lovely lake and habitats of our region’s only national park. \nRead more about the 2023 adventure in our blog post here.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
