Thank you to everyone who was able to join us!







Saturday 8/26/23 — Major Taylor Trail Keepers Celebration Ride
Thank you to everyone who came out August 26 and all of our friends and supporters—what an amazing day!
This was the smoothest and best year ever! Despite our fears of having to cancel the ride this year, we persevered and planned everything out ourselves with the help of our volunteers and board staff.
None of this would have been possible without some divine intervention from God, the support and ongoing partnerships with/from Exelon/ComEd, Forest Preserves of Cook County, REI, SRAM, Evanston Bike Club, Chicago Cycling Club, Major Taylor Cycling Club Chicago, Chicago Department of Transportation, and the Chicago Park District!
We cannot wait to see everyone again next year! To stay in touch with us, sign up for our email list at the bottom of this page.
This event was organized by the Major Taylor Trail Keepers Chicago, Friends of the Major Taylor Trail, and Major Taylor Cycling Club Chicago.
