Bike to the Big Marsh Update!!!!

Weather Update - Looks like the weather will be identical to today's exceptionally awesome weather!!!!

Dress Code - Bring thin layers so you can make slight adjustments when necessary. I'd also probably put some sunscreen on.

Food - Bring snacks and some cash for food. Since we put this together at the last minute we haven't figured out where we may stop and eat yet.

Don't forget we set the clocks back tonight so we get an extra hour of sleep!!! If you get to Daley Plaza at 8am and no one is around, um I think you know what happened, your'e early. Worst case if your'e there earlier you can relax before the ride under the Picasso.

I know more people are coming from my Meetup Group, others who haven't responded yet, and we may have people from the Oak Park and Elmhurst Cycling Clubs joining us.

See everyone tomorrow!!
