About Us
On Saturday, September 28, a mix of avid cyclists and weekend recreational riders will gather at Busey Woods on a fully supported journey through some of the most scenic roads north of Chicago. From our 5K family ride and walk, to a 30-mile challenge ride, people of all interest and ability levels have the opportunity to take part. With rest stops every 10-15 miles so magical we call them “Oases,” ample route marking, safety monitors at tricky intersections, bike techs and sweep vans if you need them, our volunteers will take care of almost any need. Chicago Rides FAR is a leaf-peeping cyclist’s utopia. Meanwhile, around the world, riders will come together to join the event from wherever they are, with their team or solo.
Why do we work so hard to make this a great experience? Because you are supporting an indispensable charity—the Autism Science Foundation (ASF). ASF is a research-driven organization that supports innovative studies into the causes and treatments of autism and the families it impacts.
Beautiful autumn scenery. Building community. Amazing support. An important cause. The time of your life. What are you waiting for? Register for Chicago Rides FAR today!
