Description:

For three years now, The Lincoln Circuit Ride has brought motorcyclists and others 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 will be held on four different Sundays to complete the entire circuit: The first weekend was April 26 in Springfield at 8th and Capitol, just north of Lincoln's Home. June 14 departed from Postville Courthouse in Lincoln. July 12 - Departs from Urbana at Carle Park/Urbana High School on Race Street, 9 a.m. and ending at Coles/Shelby County line. Sept. 20 - Departs from Shelby County Courthouse, 9 a.m. Free. Visit www.LincolnCircuitRide.com. For further information contact Rose Connolly at 891-8719.
