SAUGANASH — Ald. Margaret Laurino (39th) will host the sixth annual Sauganash Trail ride at 10 a.m. Sunday.

The three-mile bicycle ride is designed to highlight the Sauganash Trail and the Sauganash neighborhood.

"It will be a great opportunity to meet your neighbors while enjoying the outdoors and learning about local history," Laurino said in a statement.

Riders will gather at the beginning of the trail at Bryn Mawr and Kostner avenues.

The ride will come a week after police arrested a 17-year-old boy in connection with an Oct. 1 report from a woman who told police she was groped while pushing a stroller on the Sauganash Trail.

Heather Cherone says some neighbors are a bit rattled after the recent attack:

The woman said a man walked up behind her and slapped her buttocks, according to a police alert.

The man ran away, but as the woman was walking westbound, he came back and he fondled her genitals and breasts, according to the alert.

Shortly after, witnesses told police they saw a naked man running along the elevated bicycle and jogging path.
