A motorcycle ride commemorating Chicago police officers killed in the line of duty begins at 10 a.m. today on the West Side.
The Area Four Ride to Remember Motorcycle Ride, entering its seventh year, will start in the west parking lot of the Chicago Police Department's Area Four Headquarters at 3151 W. Harrison Street (the corner of Harrison Street and Kedzie Avenue).
The ride, which will last about 45 minutes to an hour, will then proceed southeast to Washington Park before turning north on Lake Shore Drive before ending at the Chicago Police Memorial and Gold Star Park just east of Soldier Field.
You can still register for the event between 8 and 9:30 a.m. today at the event's start; fees are $35 for a rider and $25 for a passenger. Any proceeds will go to the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation.
According to a media advisory from the Chicago police, Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy will participate in the program at Gold Star Park.
