CYCLE THROUGH THREE STATES IN ONE DAY!

Bicycle Illinois is excited to present the Tri-State Tour Chicago Century, a unique long-distance ride that takes cyclists through three states in one unforgettable day!

The ride begins just over the Illinois-Indiana border in Whiting, Indiana, and finishes in Kenosha, Wisconsin, traveling north through Illinois along the scenic shores of Lake Michigan. Along the way, riders will enjoy miles of lakeside views, welcoming communities, and an extensive network of fully paved bike paths and lightly traveled residential roads, creating a smooth, safe, and enjoyable ride from start to finish.

This single-day event covers approximately 80 miles, with a full century option available for those looking to go the extra distance.

The Tri-State Tour Chicago Century #1 will take place on a Sunday, while Tri-State Tour Chicago Century #2 will be held on Saturday, the day after Bicycle Illinois. If you typically work Saturdays, the Tri-State Tour Chicago Century #1 is the perfect option to fit your schedule.

The Tri-State Tour Chicago Century is the ideal long-distance cycling experience close to home, offering challenge, scenery, and adventure - all in one ride!

Come join us and ride across three states in one incredible day!
