Boulevard Tour Morphs into Four-Star Bike Tour

Registration is now open for the Four-Star Bike Tour, Chicago’s longest running bike ride. This thrilling summer biking event takes place on Sunday, August 28.

The Four-Star ride, which grew out of the now-retired Boulevard Lakefront Tour, features four different routes, offering everyone from beginners to avid cyclists a fun, healthy way to explore the city’s hidden gems.

Riders can choose a 12, 21, 35 or 65-mile route, each starting at UIC‘s campus and rolling through historic neighborhoods featuring lush parks and stunning architecture.

Participants of the 12-mile Chicago Ramble can also sign up for Safe City Cycling, an education opportunity that will teach participants to ride more confidently and safely on city streets.

Riders are encouraged to invite their friends, co-workers and family members to join in on the cycling festivities–visit http://www.fourstarbiketour.org/for details on the cost of participating. It is not free.

Event registration includes a ride T-shirt, rest stop access and entry into the post-ride festival with live entertainment, food and beer.
