A fun ride

The recent Lombard Cycling Classic featured a full day of races on a criterium course. The downtown course’s start/finish line was on St. Charles Road at Park Avenue. The July 20 event included a 30-minute kids and family community ride, which took place after the 75-minute women’s professional race. When the kids and family community ride ended, about 100 cyclists competed in the event’s final race of the day—the 90-minute open/pro race.
