Ride for AIDS Chicago is a two-day, 200-mile, bicycling event produced by Test Positive Aware Network and designed to raise needed monies for TPAN and Community Partners. Riders are required to raise a minimum of $1,000 and Crew Members are encouraged to raise $500 in donations. We have a structured outdoor training program that begins on April 7th.
The ride leaves on Saturday morning on the journey into Wisconsin, along the shores of Lake Geneva and then into our camp on Green Lake, part of the Lauderdale lakes chain. We'll start off from the city and soon after find a route of shaded bike paths and country roads. After arriving at camp, you may opt for a refreshing hot shower or a cool dip in the lake. Later, you'll enjoy a delicious hot meal. This will be followed by an evening of star-gazing or making s’mores at the campfire. You'll sleep in one of the many cabins, waking up to a crisp Wisconsin morning while a hot breakfast awaits you in the dining hall. Riders will return to Chicago on Sunday following the winding roads of southeast Wisconsin and shaded bicycle paths of northeast Illinois and then into the city. Upon returning, family and friends will welcome us home at a joyous closing ceremony.
