Hello - I'm looking to see if anyone has a hard shell container or one of the "aircaddy" boxes that I could borrow / rent to ship my road bike next week to Cape Cod for a vacation with some riding.…Continue

Wrigley 100 ride: anyone done it, any reviews?

Seems like there is space available so I'm intrigued about signing up. The turn by turn directions make it sound like a lot of turns, no real stretches of uninterrupted road. Post ride party on…Continue

mike bike replied to Etienne's discussion 'Biking from Chicago to Milwaukee, WI'"Hello - my friend and I are riding tomorrow Chicago to Milwaukee and looking at routing options. Looked at the route you posted which nicely avoids Racine. Question - what is the stretch of County Road H / Howell / Route 38 like from Kenosha all the…"

mike bike replied to mike bike's discussion 'Would like to borrow / rent a box or container to ship my road bike'"RENTAL it shall be!
Thanks friends for the guidance. Feel better seeing that some shops near where I am staying rent higher-end road bikes. I was fearing the worst but alas I see some good options."
Liz replied to mike bike's discussion 'Would like to borrow / rent a box or container to ship my road bike'"+1 After a quick google search it looks like there are a lot of bike rentals in that area with weekly rates from $100-$180 depending on bike. It would probably be much less expensive and with bringing shoes/pedals/clothing and measurements…"
Michael A replied to mike bike's discussion 'Would like to borrow / rent a box or container to ship my road bike'"I travel often and bring my bike when I can. An air caddy is a LARGE box and will require a minivan to get it from the airport to your hotel. You will also have to pack a pump ,your personal rescue kit for flats and mechanical issues,and your bike…"
mike bike replied to mike bike's discussion 'Would like to borrow / rent a box or container to ship my road bike'"h' - thanks, unfortunately i'm not mechanical enough to make that work, probably should have thought of that sooner! But got mesmerized by the "aircaddy" box that only requires wheel removal and handlebar tilt downward.

Hello - I'm looking to see if anyone has a hard shell container or one of the "aircaddy" boxes that I could borrow / rent to ship my road bike next week to Cape Cod for a vacation with some riding. Would be happy to pay a reasonable usage fee! I just don't want to own something right away as I'm unsure how often I will use.I live in Lake View and would be happy to pickup.Thanks,MikeSee More

They are asking $500! for tickets for…"
James BlackHeron replied to mike bike's discussion 'Wrigley 100 ride: anyone done it, any reviews?'"I'll look for you at the Northshore Century. My wife is going to do the ride also but she'll be doing the 50m so I won't be riding with her. She's not a very strong rider but I'm sure the ride is supported enough…"
Lanterne Rouge replied to mike bike's discussion 'Wrigley 100 ride: anyone done it, any reviews?'"I'll look for you on the North Shore century, as I'm doing it this year, too. I did the Brookfield Zoo to Milwaukee Zoo ride this year, and as far as I know, Philip should be doing it again next year too.…"
James BlackHeron replied to mike bike's discussion 'Wrigley 100 ride: anyone done it, any reviews?'"Thanks!
I didn't know that there was no game or else I would have signed up. Now I've made other commitments and can't do the ride anyhow. I think probably the Evanston ride will be the only Century I'll be able to…"
"There's no game to sit through this year. Last year, the ride ended in Milwaukee at a Brewers/Cubs game. This year, the ride starts and ends at Wrigley and there isn't a game. There will be a show by Poi Dog Pondering instead.
I've…"
James BlackHeron replied to mike bike's discussion 'Wrigley 100 ride: anyone done it, any reviews?'"I am also intrigued with doing some centuries this year myself -but the prospect of having to sit through a boring baseball game pretty much ruins this ride for me. If only there were an alternative thing to do in Milwaukee for the…"
