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.On Facebook, here.On Twitter,…See More

Bryan McClaran replied to Lanterne Rouge's discussion 'North Shore Century 2012'"Pizza? Massage tent? Whut? Damn. I had a lot of bagels and pretzels, and possibly noted bananas than I'd eaten all year. I mean, it was good and I'm not complaining, but pizza and massages? I missed out. Next year, there should be a beer…"
Bryan McClaran replied to Lanterne Rouge's discussion 'North Shore Century 2012'"My first organized, supported ride, and only second century. I had a great time. Thanks to all who helped support. Also, thanks to all who gave me props/kudos for doing the whole thing on a fixed gear."
Bryan McClaran replied to Lanterne Rouge's discussion 'North Shore Century 2012'"50missioncap, KiltedCelt and I started the day together, and then 50missioncap disappeared. We looked all over for ya, but had to get rolling. Hope all is well."
Bryan McClaran replied to Lanterne Rouge's discussion 'North Shore Century 2012'"Full tune-up on the trusty fixed gear, some GU, some Clif Bars, I'm ready to rock. See you all tomorrow."
Bryan McClaran replied to Lanterne Rouge's discussion 'North Shore Century 2012'"Nah, I'll take advantage of the free coffee at the sign-in. Still want the dehydrator?

Bryan McClaran replied to Lanterne Rouge's discussion 'North Shore Century 2012'"So, Mr. Kelt, when will we be headed out, and will you come get me and my lovely lady (she will be at the start and finish to cheer us on) or should we meet you at the park?

Bryan McClaran replied to Lanterne Rouge's discussion 'North Shore Century 2012'"I averaged 13.2MPH over my 14 mile commute, and actually got up to 25.4mph at one point. All fixed gear with a 48/17 ratio."
Bryan McClaran replied to Lanterne Rouge's discussion 'North Shore Century 2012'"Agreed. My commute is Rogers Park to Northbrook and back every day. The wind last night was brutal. I just pretended I was leading a breakaway on Alpe D'Huez and kept pushing harder with commentary from Ligget and Sherman in ky head."
