Tour de Lemont with John Vande Velde

Oct 10, 2011 | by Active Trans

John Vande Velde, an Olympic cyclist and national champion, will be joining us Thursday for our 25th anniversary celebration with his son, Christian, also a well-known cyclist.

And on Saturday John will be leading the Tour de Lemont, a 20-mile Olympic caliber ride based on a route that John developed for Chicago’s 2016 Olympic bid.

It’s a big biking and bike advocacy week for the Vande Veldes (thanks, gentlemen!).
