Comment by Norm Hansen on March 13, 2010 at 9:07pm: Tomorrows Forecast- Mostly cloudy with a 20 percent chance of showers. Highs in the upper 40s...except in the lower 40s near the lake. North winds 10 to 15 mph. Gusts up to 30 mph in the late morning and afternoon.

Is That All. After this weeks Commute tomorrow will be a like a Day Off.

We will start Riding at 9am with temps in the Upper30's and lower 40's before we're done.

So Dress warm, If you keep your Core warm you'll be fine a Nice pair of Wool socks will help keep the Toes Warm.

Couple of Safety Tips
Stop At All Red Traffic Lights.
Use Caution at Stop Signs. If there is Cars at Intersection use the Right of Way Rule.
Call Out When Passing. "ON YOUR RIGHT"
Call Out Cars in Back.
Notify Riders behind you of Road Debris or Pot Holes.
Single File is Best on less we are in Residential Neighborhoods.

So See You All Tomorrow Morning

Comment by Gecko on March 13, 2010 at 7:34pm: Seri, just look up Cuba Marsh on Google maps, or the intersection of Cuba and Ela roads in Barrington. FYI if you're still going, I'm planning on riding out of downtown Palatine near the train station around 7:30am tomorrow. That should leave plenty of time to get to the trailhead.

Comment by Seri97 on March 9, 2010 at 4:50pm: Hi Norm,

Do you have an address for mapquest?

Comment by Norm Hansen on March 8, 2010 at 1:44pm: Alright 6 days till Ride. Weather forecast now looks good according to Tom Skilling.

Comment by Seri97 on March 8, 2010 at 1:20pm: If anyone is interested in driving, riding or taking the train together, I am leaving from Park Ridge

Comment by Bruce on March 8, 2010 at 12:18pm: Will there be que sheets or a map, or do we follow the Ride Leader?
I notice the FP site says the crushed limestone path is 3 miles. Since this is a road bike ride what general route will it take? I want to go, and will make a serious effort.

Comment by 8vPete on March 7, 2010 at 7:40pm: I may take part in this, that's a very beautiful area of Chicagoland!
