Eat out tomorrow and help the Tour de Belleville
If you live in or near the metro-east and want to go out to dinner Wednesday night, consider going to the Chevy's Restaurant at 1305 Central Parkway Drive in O'Fallon, Ill., and help out the Tour de Belleville and its goal of installing signal lights on key intersections on the city's bike paths.
From 4 to 10 p.m., Chevy's will be giving 15% of each person's bill to the Tour de Belleville -- if you bring (or ask for at the hostess desk) the Tour de Belleville flier (Word document). By showing up and eating you are automatically in a drawing for one of four Gas Cards to be given away courtesy of St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Belleville and the Tour de Belleville.
The Belleville Area Bicycling and Eating Society will be going there after our Wednesday Evening Ride, which also happens to be in O'Fallon. In case you're interested in riding with us, we'll meet at the "Caboose" parking lot at 6:15 p.m. and take off on routes of 14 to 26 miles at 6:30.
Last Friday's Tour de Belleville drew 1,362 registered riders to the streets of Belleville, according to the Belleville News-Democrat story published Saturday.Labels: Tour de Belleville
