What kind of levers is he running? Some will accept generic hoods, others need specific ones.

My friend Sam and I are riding RAGBRAI this year for the first time and this past weekend we took a trip to Lake Geneva. On the way, we went through Stearns Woods, which is super hilly and my friend wiped out at the bottom of one of them. With the help of the nice folks at the LBS, his bike was put back into riding order fairly quickly and Sam rode the rest of the way to WI like a champ with blood slowly seeping out of his road rash, but with some first aid he's fine now. However, a few…See More
Timothy Hager commented on Mark Trulock's group 'RAGBRAI'"I am looking for one or two spots from Chicago to the starting town on Saturday. We have a ride back home at the end, but so far no luck getting there. We don't necessarily need to be in the same car and will both happily pay our…"
Timothy Hager replied to Adam "Cezar" Jenkins's discussion 'Metra's inconsistency makes me want to drive. I can't be the only one?'"This seems a good thread to ask this question. I just rode to Lake Geneva with a friend and we were both planning on using the metra to get back to Chicago with our bikes today, but apparently it's a blackout day (not sure what…"
Timothy Hager replied to TehDoak's discussion 'A Quick Warning: The Bike Shop in Glen Ellyn'"$10 to get a professional mechanic to install a new tube is a deal compared to some shops I've been to. My personal opinion is that something as common and basic as tube replacement should be part of the skill set of any regular rider but…"
Timothy Hager replied to mike w.'s discussion 'What was your scariest cycling experience?'"I've had a couple of bad accidents, but the scariest didn't actually leave any physical marks. I was riding home from where I work in Oak Park and it was a particularly nasty evening in January complete with freezing rain. I…"
Jaik - 4.3mi replied to Timothy Hager's discussion 'Riding to Lake Geneva on Saturday'"My friend and I did this ride this exact weekend last year. It was a great ride. We stopped at Volo Auto Museum on the way back. Make sure to stop every hour/10 miles or so to hydrate, because in this weather you will sweat more than you know. Pack…"

C.R. replied to Timothy Hager's discussion 'Riding to Lake Geneva on Saturday'"Yeh, this is a bad weekend for me as well. I've been looking to do this ride. I also have been looking to do some rides+camp in Wisc. Its terrible that they don't allow bikes on Amtrak going to Milwaukee without boxing…"
Dean Bekken replied to Timothy Hager's discussion 'Riding to Lake Geneva on Saturday'"I recommend you head for Fontana on S side of the Lake; easiest approach is (from Johnsburg in Chain O Lakes) (31) Richmond Rd to Barnard Mill, Tryon / Vanderkarr to Wilke (47), N thru Hebron then left on Willow / S Lakeshore Dr. Get a Weiss…"

Loan L. replied to Timothy Hager's discussion 'Riding to Lake Geneva on Saturday'"I would join you if I have a week notice or so. Sorry I have no tips, because I am a novice on long distance riding as well. Have a blast!"
Timothy Hager posted a discussionRiding to Lake Geneva on Saturday
Hi Everyone,I'm planning a trip up to Lake Geneva, WI this Saturday and at 86ish miles, it will be the longest ride I've done (longest so far has been about 60 miles). I'm also planning to ride it by myself (unless one of you wants to join me, which would be cool) and wanted to just get general advice about touring solo from those of you who may have done it. I don't want to get halfway there and find out that I'm screwed for some reason. My bike is in good repair and though my tires are in…See More

I think I'm going to use Shuttleguy. It's $175 for transport to the starting point and back to Chicago. What were you thinking?
