Northbound there were 5 separate cabs or cars using it as a loading zone, but there were none at 11. That was a bit annoying but I figured hat it was only…"
Richard replied to LT's discussion 'Chicago to Argonne?'"While not to Argonne, I second the Metra option (if that works for you). I commute via Metra with a older Dahon folder. You give up a bit of speed but you gain a more multi-modal options.

Manny FU...Really!? replied to LT's discussion 'Chicago to Argonne?'"Dave, maybe you can organize a nice leisurely weekend morning ride on the Waterfall Glen path. Maybe tell us what those stone/concrete "doorways" that are near the trail are for ? (There are some like that on Ft. Campbell, Ky....I think…"

LT replied to LT's discussion 'Bike Stand to Give Away' in the group Barter/Share/Give"Ok, trying again, since I'll be around this week. Any takers?"
Dave Jacque replied to LT's discussion 'Chicago to Argonne?'"I work at Argonne ... just want you to know you can't just wander in and look around once you get there, unlike Fermilab. There's a 10-mile crushed limestone trail around Argonne through the Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve, which surrounds…"
S replied to LT's discussion 'Chicago to Argonne?'"If you don't mind taking the metra, you can catch it to westmont and bike the rest of the way. I have a friend you used to commute out to Argonne that way."

Peter Taylor replied to LT's discussion 'Chicago to Argonne?'"Ahh From the south loop I might take Roosevelt to Ogden to Plainfield to Wolf"

LT replied to LT's discussion 'Chicago to Argonne?'"Thanks! Is there a recommended route for geting to the trail? Starting from the South Loop it looks like you could go Roosevelt to California to 26th--at least google thinks those are recommended bike streets. "
