Sunday, July 10: LATE Ride in Grant Park

Mark your calendars for the LATE ride on July 10th!!  Close to 10,000 cyclists meet at Buckingham Fountain around midnight and bike through the night!

www.lateride.org

We had a fun crew participate last year as Course Marshalls!  (this, of course, meant nothing - riders just saw us in our "official" reflector vests and assumed we knew what was going on - after multiple beers, we thought we knew what was going on too!!!)  Kidding....as a Course Marshall, we get a discounted ride, the power to flag down and send naive cyclists in whatever direction we choose, and the ability to fix flats in mere seconds.

To raise additional funds for Friends of the Parks' citywide advocacy work, we have launched today an online auction in conjunction with Friends of the Parks' LATE Ride!  We will be adding more exciting travel packages in the next few days.  Please tell your friends about the auction!  We will also promote it heavily on www.lateride.org, at Packet Pick-Ups and more.

Here's how to find the auction:
