Expect plenty of revelry during the first half of this 25-mile "Long After Twilight Ends" ride through downtown and North Side neighborhoods. Organizers say the ride calms down during the lakefront cruise back to Grant Park for breakfast. Pre-ride festivities at Buckingham Fountain include live music (11 p.m. Saturday), registration and packet pick-up (midnight Sunday) and "best lit bike" and "best decorated helmet" contests (12:45 a.m. Sunday). Includes snacks along the route and a T-shirt for pre-registrants. Helmets required.

Neighborhoods include: Greektown, River North, West Loop, Lincoln Park and more. Registration: limited to 10,000 participants. Internet registration open through July 11: lateride.org
