Rick lightburn replied to Jim Behymer's discussion 'Good routes through south side?'
"Western is a bit of a challenge: not impossible, but a lot of traffic, which can be avoided on Damen, which provides a good route from Foster or so, and again from about 35th to pretty far south. For a general overview, I've had good…"

Milwaukee 2.0 at chicago-milwaukee

July 18, 2009 all day
This is a social and fun ride so no one should be daunted by the 80 mile distance. If you can ride 25 continuous miles, you can definitely ride up to Milwaukee with us. The route largely follows amtrak/ metra routes so if you get ill or something there's plenty of bail points, which we will map out for you. Basically, if you're a first time to milwaukee (or first time distance rider) all you have to do is show up at the start with a functioning bike and we'll do the rest, I'll post route maps,…See More
