Description

This ride will visit several breweries just off the bucolic Fox River Trail, rated the most scenic Chicagoland bike trail by myself.

Take the 8:40 AM BNSF Metra to Aurora (or you can ride out if you want) and arrive at 10:11. Ride slowly for 11 miles to Penrose in Geneva which opens at 11:00. Then ride 18 miles to Emmetts in West Dundee. Then ride 6 more miles to Scorched Earf in Algonquin. Then 5 miles to Crystal Lake Brewing and possible fireworks. 40 miles total.

Trains out of Crystal Lake at 5,7 and 9 PM. There are multiple other Metra stations along the trail if you want to bail early.

Bring: water, snacks, tire changing gear, TiNa. lights.

Its is recommended that you pick you up the BNSF at Union Station to ensure seating.

Comment by Rich S on July 1, 2016 at 9:28am: I plan to leave from California Park about 7:30am. Which means I'll probably really leave at 7:45am. This is the route I would take. I'd say I'm 80% likely to attend.

Comment by bobweiser on July 1, 2016 at 8:44am: rich, i don't have to go fast, plus it'll be important to pace ourselves. but i'd rather not have to get up super early, either! when would you leave, and from where?

Comment by Rich S on June 30, 2016 at 8:49am: Bob, you're faster and if I can go I'm leaving a bit earlier than 8. Maybe we can see where you catch up, play a little tortoise and the hare!

Comment by bobweiser on June 29, 2016 at 9:49pm: if anyone who rides out would like some company, let me know

Comment by Rich S on June 29, 2016 at 8:11pm: Really want to make it. If I can I'll ride out to Penrose and meet y'all there.

Comment by bobweiser on June 29, 2016 at 7:33pm: leave city @ 8, ride 40, meet up @ penrose (in geneva) @ 11?
