Information

Chicagoland Beer Exploration Society

Every member of the Society (CBES) should aspire to have a beer at every brewery or brewpub located in a day or two bicycle ride distance from Chicago (and, of course, within the city limits).

Naturally, preferable way of getting to is by bike, as for riding back . . . whatever is available, train, bus, horse and buggy, depending on amount of beverages consumed at the destination.

Routes on Ride with GPS, here.

On Facebook, here.

On Twitter, here.

Lists of breweries and brewpubs (and other beer things): on Facebook, and on Twitter.

ok, ride together to 3f, then you'll go on to Griffith and either ride back or to flossmoor and metra, and i'll return via 18th st and either ride back or take the nictd. when are you thinking of leaving/getting there?

and then the following weekend the Fourth Step Ride!

Comment by bobweiser on April 21, 2017 at 1:06am

it's not that much farther than 3f, is it?

Comment by bobweiser on April 20, 2017 at 7:35pm

you're thinking Griffith? i'm of course thinking just 3f = 8 mi. as opposed to all the way back = 30 mi.

Comment by bobweiser on April 20, 2017 at 3:44pm

or 18th st? nictd should be taking bikes again.

Comment by bobweiser on April 19, 2017 at 11:50pm

It's been a while since my last ride south-east... Wanna go there? As far as Griffith, at least. Either ride back or to Flossmoor?

with the wind going down, against coming back? if you have your mind made up, i guess i could go with you part way.

We ended up doing 61 miles. Alarmist was remarkably good. Fun was had by all.

I'm unavail this weekend.

See you all at 8am @ LFT and Ardmore.
For those who didn't see the route, I basically up Sheridan-ish to Highland Park-ish and back via NBT-ish.

Ah, fer cryin out loud. I thought I liked Ride With GPS.

Maybe I should get back to good ol' paper maps.

It's public now. I swear!
