| TRI-STATE TOUR CHICAGO CENTURY
Starting and Stopping Towns
Whiting • Kenosha • Chicago
 Based
on the overall event goal of cycling from the Illinois/Indiana
border to the Illinois/Wisconsin border in one day, we chose
Whiting
and Kenosha to be the closest towns over the Illinois border
that have the best availability of the services we
need. Starting and ending in these cities (as opposed to very
small
towns)
makes
transportation
the easiest for the most amount of people, especially people
who either don't have a car, and allows for the greatest number
of necessary services to be available such as hotels, restaurants,
and hospitals.
We will have a supported hotel set up in all towns as well
as an in-town cue sheet and map centered around the supported
hotel that will show safe routes to the supported facilities
and services in each town.
Whiting
We chose to start the ride in Whiting
because of their beautiful Lakefront Park and the amazing
view of the Chicago skyline to the west from there, in addition
to the fact that we can bike from there to Calumet Park
in Chicago with almost no traffic almost entirely on bike
paths. Whiting is
also
very
close
to
our
rest
stop at
Wm.
Powers
Conservation area (Wolf Lake) on the Bicycle Illinois tour
and allows the participants of Bicycle Illinois to easily
continue riding on the Tri-State Tour Chicago Century.

Kenosha
We chose to end the ride in Kenosha because of the gorgeous
ending location right on the Kenosha harbor
and the numerous
amenties available at our ending location at the Kenosha
hotel.

and services in Kenosha.
Chicago
We have Chicago as one of our stopping towns because
participants can start their ride directly from our
rest stop downtown since it is the hub of all local public
transportation options. We will also be stopping there
as a mid-route stop on our
return
transportation
service
from Kenosha.
