ONG RIDE


SCIENCE FIELD TRIP TO FERMILAB VIA ILLINOIS PRAIRIE PATH (36 MILES)


Begin this westbound journey from the Loop on Washington Boulevard, riding through Garfield Park until you reach Fifth Avenue. Just south of Wilcox Street, you can jump on the Prairie Path Trail, which takes you out into the suburbs through Lombard and Glen Ellyn, Illinois. In Wheaton, the path turns southwest; continue until you reach Batavia Road, and follow it northwest.


Take Road D into Fermilab, and make your way along the bike trail to the Lederman Science Center. If you're all worn out, ride north to the West Chicago Metra Station to make your way back to the Loop.


PIT STOP Stock up on doughnuts (ring-shaped, just like Fermilab), strudel and pound cake at Kuppie’s Bakery (42 S Villa Ave, Villa Park, IL; 630-832-0929, kuppiesbakery.com) as you make your way to the suburbs.


BEER QUEST


TO THREE FLOYDS BREWING IN MUNSTER, IN (30 MILES)


Set out on your search for the elusive Zombie Dust pale ale by going south on the Lakefront Trail and riding it all the way to 71st Street. Continue south on South Shore Drive, following Route 41 to the Burnham Greenway Trail just past the Chicago Skyway. At 112th Street, turn east into Indiana and take the Illiana Marina Trail across Wolf Lake. Continue due south (down Johnson, Lyman and Calumet Avenues) and turn onto Superior Drive, where you’re sure to see the Three Floyds Brewpub silo. After a few beers, the Flossmoor Metra station is just 12 miles to the east—probably the best choice for a safe journey home.


PIT STOP Located at the end of Lake Shore Drive, 63rd Street Beach (6300 S Lake Shore Dr; 773-363-2225, cpdbeaches.com) is a perfect place to relax on the sand before you cross the border into Indiana.
