BICYCLE ILLINOIS
Differences Between
Bicycle Illinois and the Tri-State Tour
Fewer services and merchandise items are included on
the Tri-State Tour so there
are
some significant differences between the two events that
you will need to be aware of.
In
Town Facilities and Services
You will need
to make reservations at the supported hotel in Hammond since we will not have
indoor and/or outdoor lodging available at a main lodging site facility such
as a
school
or community
center.
We will not provide or coordinate dinner on Friday or
Saturday, but the supported hotel is located on a major street
and
plenty of restaurants will be available for dinner. Plenty
of taxicabs are available as well for additional options.
Long term
parking will not be available in Hammond.
Events Bike Ride Services will not provide services for
the Tri-State Tour such as massage therapy or towel service.
However, a swimming pool and supporting bike shop, laundromat,
grocery store, and hospital will be vailable in Hammond as
well as an in-town map and cue sheet listing routes bewtheen
these locations and the
supported
hotel.
On
Road Services
The rest stops will only be about 14 miles apart on the Tri-State Tour.
Registration for
the Tri-State Tour will not include a box lunch. If you want a box lunch,
you will need to purchase it separately during registration. |
