"Ah I hadn't noticed that you'd posted a map too Sir Bikes, looks good! But I'll be bailing too. Babysitting the kids while David takes care of the health issue. Hope you can still make the ride happen!"

Frozens' Not Century 2013 at Chicago to Milwaukee and back.
February 22, 2013 to February 23, 2013

September 29, 2012 to September 30, 2012
Organized 11 years ago by the venerable John Greenfield, this beloved annual ride takes an moderate pace for a 100 mile route around the edge of our beautiful city.
