This is NOT the actual North Shore Century, which will be on Sept. 21st.

This is the 2024 Route of the North Shore Century with slight modifications over the last third that allow access to convenience stores and coffee shops. From Evanston to Kenosha and back.

Everyone should have the route loaded on their GPS (or printed cue sheets) as every rider is self-supporting, there is no SAG or rest stops. We are on our own, you must be able to find your own way without support.
