Departure: 6pm

Join us for an easy ride south to Calumet Park, where we’ll go over the basics of group ride protocols, drafting, and stability. For those of you new to Chicago: Calumet Park is located 7mi from Hyde Park, and is an ideal and safe place to train. Its main road is a big oval, which is great for simply doing loops or structured internals.
