As day #1 of 30 days in April, I rode my bike to lunch at The Cheese Box for the best beef brisket I've had. Ever. So my plan is to ride at least once a day for this month - could be a long ride, could be a quick errand here and there. I filled out the pledge to make it official. If you want to join me, here's the information:

It's a bit of a trip from Chicago. This is in Lake Geneva. The Cheese Box does brisket as an occasional special. It was SO good!

I got stuck in a high-wind sleet storm. That stuff hurts.

Day 3 of #30daysofbiking in April in Madison. As hard as yesterday's ride was (hills, 25-30 mph winds), it was one of the best rides I've been on. Cute towns, awesome bike paths for miles and miles, and great company made it great.

'tis some lovely cycling up there. Plenty of hills, too. Are you doing the Dairyland Dare?

I'm not sure what I'm going to do this summer with the exception of RAGBRAI. Thanks for mentioning it - I'm adding this to the list to check out. :-) I loved being on bike paths for most of the ride. I've never seen anything like it before. 

I forgot I put together a Google calendar:

While the focus was on vintage rides (and not forgetting about low-key rides people had announced), I'm more than happy to add other rides, swap meets, etc. Let me know.

If there's something missing from the calendar, please shoot me a PM with a link and I'll add it to the calendar. We have over 200 rides and events on Chainlink so far with more being entered every week.

I did. It was like riding a rocket ship to Mars on the way in from Evanston. I'm not expecting such kind treatment from Mother Nature on the return trip. In fact... Before heading down to the bat cave this morning to select a trusty steed, I checked the weather forecast on my phone. In the hourly precipitation graph it plotted not a single bar with hourly precipitation probabilities. Rather, it indicated something like "No chance of precipitation today." "Fine," I thought. "I'll take a nice bike." As I write this, I look out to see it is snowing. Hmmm... I'm going to have to have a chat with the weather 'droid.
