This Father’s Day, we celebrated Year 20 of our annual bike ride with Rudy’s Bike Shop! 🚲

More than 180 riders joined us for a 10-mile ride through the Portage Park and Dunning neighborhoods. The route was wheel-y fun (we had to include at least one dad joke!) and ended at Eli’s with cheesecake and custom shirts for everyone!

A huge thank you to our partners for helping make this community tradition possible: the 16th District Chicago Police Department, City of Chicago SAFE Ambassadors, Alderman Nick Sposato, and the Portage Park Chamber of Commerce.

We can’t wait to keep the tradition rolling — see you for Year 21?

What an honor it was to be a part of the Obama Presidential Center’s opening festivities. A celebration this big wouldn’t be complete without a giant Eli’s Cheesecake! The words from President Obama’s 50th anniversary Selma speech decorate the cake and are also reflected on the exterior of the Obama Presidential Center.

What does the cake say?

“You are America. Unconstrained by habit and convention. Unencumbered by what is, ready to seize what ought to be. For everywhere in this country, there are first steps to be taken, there is new ground to cover, there are more bridges to be crossed. America is not the project of any one person. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.’ ‘We The People.’ ‘We Shall Overcome.’ ‘Yes We Can.’ That word is owned by no one. It belongs to everyone. Oh, what a glorious task we are given to continually try to improve this great nation of ours.”

-President Obama, 2015

Great to see NPR’s Scott Simon at the Chicago stop of his book tour for his newest work : ULYSSES S. CAT and Other Animals I Have Known. Among the marvelous animals who have crossed his path, is the imaginary Stripey, whose favorite dessert is Eli’s Cheesecake. Don’t you love animals with great taste?
