Climate Cycle's May 16th, 2010 Solar Schools Ride is a family and fan friendly fundraiser in which riders garner pledges in advance of the ride. Proceeds go to install solar energy systems in local public schools.

Cyclists select from a 4, 10, 20 or 62-mile course along picturesque Lake Michigan in which to participate. All starting and end points are in downtown Chicago, with the exception of the 62-mile "metric century" course, which begins at the Indiana Dunes and ends in downtown Chicago.

A post ride celebration follows the ride. This festive event includes music, free lunches for all riders, sustainability showcases, goody bags, a raffle and kid friendly activities.

Event registration will open on Dec. 3rd at our Kickoff Party. This 21 and older event will be hosted at The Store, located at 2002 N. Halsted. Registration will be discounted from $30 to $20 at this event.

For those unable to attend the Kickoff, we will extend this $10 registration discount until Dec. 5th.  If you want us to send you a registration discount reminder, please email us at info@climatecycle.org with the subject heading 2010 Kickoff.
