Brompton Chicago: Mile of Murals & Historic Alta Vista Terrace Ride

Details

This is a 13.5 mile loop party pace (chill) ride. Meet at the AIDS Garden along the Lakefront Trail (by the big green guy). We ride north on the LFT to its northern terminus then take greenways and quiet neighborhood streets through Loyola University campus to the Mile of Murals in Rogers Park. The Mile of Murals, which began in 2007, is a community based public art initiative along the CTA Red Line track from Estes Ave. to Pratt Ave.

We then ride down south through the Edgewater and Uptown neighborhoods along the Glenwood Greenway to the historic Alta Vista Terrace. The district was conceived by Samuel Gross in 1904 patterned after the row houses in London. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. There is a cafe stop at around mile 11 at The Bakehouse on Sheridan Rd. We head back to LFT to the AIDS Garden where we end the ride.
