Schneider Invites Constituents to “Congress on Your Corner” Town Halls and “Bike the Tenth”
Riders will join Schneider on a 15-mile leisurely bike ride throughout the Tenth District
DEERFIELD, IL. – Congressman Brad Schneider (IL-10) announced the dates of his "Congress on Your Corner" town halls and fourth annual "Bike the Tenth" constituent ride. Throughout August, Schneider will host four town halls across the Tenth District, the first in-person town halls since March 2020.
At "Bike the Tenth," Schneider will be joined by people of all ages for a 15-mile leisurely bicycle ride along the Des Plaines River Trail. The route begins and ends at the Half Day Forest Preserve in Vernon Hills, with a likely mid-course stop for ice cream along the way.
"This month, we're enjoying our ability to safely gather thanks the accelerated distribution of the vaccines made available through the American Rescue Plan. Though we have been very active with the remote programs, I am excited for events like ‘Congress on Your Corner' and ‘Bike the Tenth' to visit and hear from residents in person." said Schneider.
Constituents can RSVP on Schneider's website at schneider.house.gov/events. Credentialed press may RSVP for events via email.
The full "Bike the Tenth" route is available here. In the case of flooding on the Des Plaines River trail, "Bike the Tenth" will proceed along an alternate route available here.
Following CDC guidelines and advice of the local health department, attendees are encouraged to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Those attendees who are not vaccinated are encouraged to wear a face mask for their own safety. Additionally, we are requiring RSVPs in advance to accommodate social distancing.
