Evanston/Pilsen/Wicker Park Mass Rides

The three disparate communities host their respective semi-impromptu rides today and the first Friday of every month; “semi” because the route is determined shortly before take-off. The Evanston ride begins at 6:30 p.m. at Fountain Square at Davis and Sherman Ave., while the Pilsen run takes off at 7 p.m. at Tenochtitlan Plaza, 18th St., Blue Island Ave. and Loomis St. Like its name suggests, the Pilsen Circular ends up where it starts. Meanwhile, the Wicker Park run takes off from Nelsen Algren Fountain, Division St. and Milwaukee Ave
