Even though it’s early February, we’ve already registered for two events that mark the beginning of summer– Bike The Drive in Chicago on May 24 and The Miller Lite Ride for the Arts in Milwaukee two weeks later, on June 7.
These are both awesome events– I’ve done Bike the Drive every year since its inception, and last year was our first time at the Miller Lite Ride.
Bike the Drive features the annual closing of Lake Shore Drive so you can ride your bike along the lakefront from The Museum of Science and Industry all the way north to Bryn Mawr Avenue. The Miller Lite ride starts in downtown Milwaukee, runs south through several neighborhoods, and then back up to end at the Summerfest grounds.
If it stays nice here for the next day or so I may just get one of the bikes out for a quick spin.
