Bike the Major Taylor Trail
The Major Taylor Trail is an urban bike experience -- 8 miles one-way; 16 miles round-trip. This trail gives LSSC members the opportunity to learn more about Beverly & points south. The meeting point will be the Dan Ryan Woods, with plenty of parking, and porta-toilets. The southern turn-around point will be Whistler Woods.
There is a possible brunch option as a break during the return leg of the ride at a restaurant on Western Avenue.)
FYI—part of the paved trail includes sections on residential streets in east Beverly.
The trail is named after Marshall "Major" Taylor, a professional world champion cyclist from the late 1800's to early 1900's. He was the 2nd African American to win a world championship in any sport.
