 |
We STRONGLY recommend
staying at the Hammond hotel the night
before the event if possible. You'll be able
to get a much better night's sleep and feel
much
more
rested
before the ride since you won't have to drive
or ride very far to the starting location in
the morning or feel rushed to check in and
get ready to ride. You'll also be able to meet
many of the participants you'll be riding with
the next day.

Transportation
Service to Hammond Before the Start of the Event
We are pleased to offer transportation service to the Hammond hotel from both
Kenosha and downtown Chicago for you, your bicycle, and your baggage the day
before the
start
of the event.

Here for more information about
our Transportation Service to Hammond Before
the Start of the Event.
Driving
to the Hammond Hotel
If you will be driving your own car to the supported
hotel, you should drive it to the event starting
location the following morning and
park
your car
there
during the event.
You should not ride your bicycle to the Whiting
starting location and leave your car parked at the
supported
hotel during the event because we will
not
stop at the supported hotel as part of our return transportation service, As
a result you will have to bike back there from
the starting location in the dark which will be VERY
dangerous.
Breakfast
The morning of the event you should eat the continental
style breakfast
that begins at 6:00 am and is included with your
reservation at the supported hotel.

Riding
from the Hammond Hotel to the Starting Location
the Morning of the Event
If you did not drive your own car to the supported
hotel or do not have a ride to the starting
location, you will need to ride your bike from the supported hotel
to to the starting
location on your own after breakfast.
The routes from the supported hotel to the starting
location will not be painted. The cue sheet
and map for the Hammond hotel include directions
from the supported hotel to
the
start

with you and NOT leave it at the front desk of the

Riding
to the Hammond Hotel the Day Before the Event
If you want to ride to Hammond before the
start of the event, we strongly recommend doing so
the day
before the event, staying in the supported hotel
that night, and riding the starting location the
next morning.
The ride from the supported hotel to the starting
location is only 3.0 miles, you'll be able
to get a better night's sleep before the event,
and you won't be nearly as rushed to arrive on time
as you would be if you rode there from the 95th/Dan
Ryan CTA L Train Station that morning.
- Click
Here for more information about our
supported hotels.
The day before the event will
be a personal transportation day only. We will
not coordinate any group rides to Hammond or provide
any on road support
services the day before
the event - our first and
only day of supported cycling will be the next day. If
you encounter any problems while riding you will
be on your own so we recommend planning
accordingly.
To ride to the Hammond hotel you could either take
the CTA Red line train to the 95th/Dan Ryan CTA L
Train Station and ride to the hotel from there or
you could start
your ride from rest stop 1 in downtown Chicago.
From the 95th/Dan Ryan CTA L Train Station
Fully assembled bicycles are allowed on the trains
at no extra charge at all times except 7:00 - 9:00
am and 4:00 - 6:00 pm on weekdays.
