Lincoln Circuit Ride
SPONSOR:
Lincoln Circuit Ride Committee
WHO:
Anyone
DETAILS:
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 and ends at the Piatt-Champaign marker. The July 12 trip is
from Carle Park in Urbana to the Coles-Shelby County line. On Sept.
20, the tour departs from the Shelby County Courthouse and ends at
the Christian-Sangamon County line. For more information, visit
www.lincolncircuitride.com.
