Lincoln
Circuit Ride sponsored by the Lincoln Circuit Ride Committee
For three years now, the Lincoln Circuit Ride has brought
motorcyclists and other Lincoln enthusiasts in cars along the old
8th Judicial Circuit that Abraham Lincoln rode as a lawyer. At the
various courthouses where Abe practiced, local historians give
entertaining examples of what Mr. Lincoln did in those communities.
This has been recognized as an excellent melding of history and a
contemporary road event. The 2009 Lincoln Circuit Ride takes four
Sundays to complete the entire circuit. The first was in April, with
a tour from Lincoln's Home in Springfield to the McLean-Logan
marker. The June 14 ride departs from Postville Courthouse in
Lincoln at 9 a.m. and ends at the Piatt-Champaign marker. For more
