Long road awaits PADS riders
A group of local cyclists are preparing to travel a long way for a cause close to their hearts, and they are looking for a few good riders.
Supporters of the Southwest Chicago PADS (Public Action to Deliver Shelter) plan to ride their bikes all the way from the Mississippi River to Marquette Park in an effort to raise funds for the PADS facility at 3121 W. 71st St. The 175-mile trip from Clinton, Iowa, will take two days over the weekend of June 26-27, organizers said.
