TRI-STATE TOUR CHICAGO CENTURY
Starting from Chicago
|
If you do not have a car or
another way to get to Hammond and don't
want to ride there before the start of the
event you can
also start your ride directly from downtown
Chicago. Our Chicago starting location will
be directly at rest
stop 1.
There is no extra charge for you to start
from Chicago, but you will need to register
for it so that we can expect you and have your
registration materials available for you there.

Although you can ride the Kenosha century loop or
Kenosha to Waukegan century options, you
will not officially be able to complete a century
ride if you start from Chicago.
Arrival and Check In
PLEASE PLAN ON ARRIVING AT
THE CHICAGO STARTING LOCATION PROMPTLY AT 7:00 AM – OTHER
PARTICIPANTS WILL BE DEPENDING ON YOU. It is critical
that all participants promptly leave the starting
location on time in order to maximize the amount
of time they have to complete the event.
Check in at the
Chicago starting location will begin at 7:00 am and
end promptly at 7:45 am because like
you, we will need to get ready for the upcoming ride.
Please plan on checking in as early as possible because
the more time you have to get your bike ready and
to stock up on snacks and sports drinks for the upcoming
ride the better. In addition, we will not be able
to assure a timely departure if all our participants
decide to check in at 7:40 am.

checking into the event.
At 8:00 am we will conduct a mandatory opening meeting
at the
Chicago starting location where we will describe our
policies and procedures and answer any questions
you might have. After the
opening meeting is complete the route will officially
open with a group departure after
the first rider from Hammond departs from Chicago.
Participants may not depart before then
in order
to ensure
adequate
staff support across the entire route.
