MB Financial Bank Bike the Drive is coming up fast! If you haven't registered yet or you're not able to register until after today, a great way to avoid the long packet pick-up lines on the day of the event is to go to one of the packet pick-up parties!![""]("http://bikethedrive.org/sites/default/files/61702-302-008f_0.jpg")
On Friday May 17 and Saturday 18, you can get your packet at a new location in the Chicago suburbs: MB Financial Park in Rosemont near O'Hare Airport.
Located near the junction of I-294 and I-90, it's easily accessible by car from many directions. And if you're coming from the city, the Rosemont Blue Line stop deposits you a short walk away.
Our partners MB Financial Bank, Kozy's Cyclery and REI will be on hand with information about personal finances, bike maintenance and new bike-related products.
Local businesses at the park have come up with some enticing offers for event participants:
- Kings Bowl will offer participants 15 percent off food, and their mascot Bowling Ball & Pin will be handing out bowling passes. They will also raffle off two bowling party packages.
- Zanie’s Comedy Club will provide coupons for $5 tickets to the first 500 participants (normally $20).
