Description


The ride is designed to get you out of the city, enjoy the fresh air, and get in a very good workout in while getting back in time to enjoy your Sunday.  It's intended for those of us who want to bike hard but can't keep up with the 25 mph folks in their matching outfits and $8k bikes.

Outbound we'll experience the beauty of the Forest Preserve and then return on speedy, smooth Sheridan road as it winds past homes in the Northern Suburbs you could never afford.  Great views of the lakefront in Evanston on the way back.

We take Lawrence to Elston, NBT to the Botanic Gardens, Green Bay to Highwood, and back to the city via Sheridan Road,.  There 's a 15 minute stop in Highwood to get drinks, whatever. We were back last week by 10:45 and I was told we averaged 19 mph. I assume we'll maintain around the same speed. 

You should have a road bike to do this trip, a spare tube, and be in decent condition.  We make one stop. 

We can meet  you along the way to the start on Lawrence or Elston if you wish. Friend me to connect.
