Saturday 9/7/24 — Major Taylor Trail Keepers Celebration Ride
Thank you to everyone who came out September 7 and all of our friends and supporters—what an amazing day!
It was incredible to see everyone come out to ride and celebrate the legacy of Major Taylor. We shared stories, had laughs, created wonderful memories on the trail, and enjoyed healthy and delicious barbecue by Wild 100’s Jerkman!
Of course, none of this would have been possible without the support of our volunteers and donors, and partnerships with/from Commonwealth Edison, Evanston Bike Club, Forest Preserves of Cook County, Major Taylor Cycling Club Chicago, SRAM, and REI.
We cannot wait to see everyone again next year! Save the date for next years ride: September 6, 2025
