The idea has appeal. But I'd like to point out that there's nothing stopping bikers from a Grand Round bike tour on their own. You can do it on the parkways if you're comfortable in traffic, or on the bike paths if you have younger children. The route I take measures about 32 miles. Highlights include speeding down Victory Parkway, stopping to see if the duck has nested again by the memorial flagpole near Mike Opat's house, topping the lowest-gear hill in Northeast (assuming you're going clockwise; otherwise it's a screaming downhill) and the DQ on Minnehaha Av. I had a neighbor, now since moved to Colorado, who used to do it almost every warm-weather Saturday.
