The Des Plaines River Trail Bike Ride, hosted by Mayor Martin J. Moylan and the Des Plaines Police Department on June 2, 2012, was a great success with over 300 bicyclists coming out to enjoy a day highlighted by great weather and a 9 mile fun ride!  Children and adults enjoyed the event which ended with a cook out and prize drawings at the Public Works Garage, 1111Joseph J. Schwab (Campground) Road.  Special thanks were expressed to this year’s sponsors and participants including Fifth Third Bank, Advocate Lutheran General Hospital, the Journal and Topics Newspapers, the Des Plaines Park District, Holy Family Medical Center, Karas Management, Alexian Reference Laboratory, WJMK-FM/104.3 K-HITS, Village Cycle Sport, Berg Toys Chicago LLC, and ChiroOne.  Mayor Moylan  thanked the many volunteers who made the event possible including the Citizens On Patrol and the Emergency Management Agency.
