Victory Ride

MAKING THE MAJOR PROUD!

The ‘Victory Ride’ is the annual signature event of the Major Taylor Cycling Club Chicago. This fully supported ride is held on Memorial Day weekend. A full Memorial Day weekend of rides and fellowship. Whether you’re an elite athlete, a weekend warrior, or a casual cyclist we’ve got a distance right for you.

Three different distances/routes will be offered on Saturday, heading south of Chicago, and further into Illinois and Indiana. The routes are 95% on open roads, staying off most of the busier roads around the city.

Cyclists can expect mostly flat sections and some gentle rollers. Remember this is Chicagoland, we don’t have hills but we do have wind.
