Description

Remember, Remember!

The fifth of November,

The Gunpowder treason and plot;

I know of no reason

Why the Gunpowder treason

Should ever be forgot!

Stops Including

(in this order):

The Aberdeen Tap

440 N. Aberdeen

(meet here around noon and leave by 1:30pm SHARP)

The Bucktown Pub

1658 N. Cortland

The Beer Bistro

1061 West Madison

Simone's Bar

960 W 18th

Bubbly Dynamics

1048 W 37th St

(Burn, Baby, Burn after Sundown!)

It's guaranteed to be a most wonderful occasion but a crisp yet warm day is predicted so prepare accordingly. Also some other tips to make this bummel ever-so enjoyable:

We have a goodly number of stops and a short day. We suggest bringing cash. Your transactions will be shorter at the bar.
Several establishments serve victuals as well as refreshments and it will be a LONG night. Do take advantage.
While we will providing a suitably visaged Guy Fawkes and the materials to immolate him, this is a BYOB bonfire. We suggest you prepare accordingly when we roll by several take-away libatory establishments in the Bridgeport area.
Finally ... gents why do some of you come on your CX bike, clad as lycra-louts? Please remember to match the ladies in their sartorial finery. Either a classic stead or wooly threads will do. Both would be exceptional indeed!

Seems to be a new, annoying "feature" of the page. Click on the "All Photos" button in the upper left-hand corner to see all my images and movies pertaining to the ride.

Comment by globalguy on November 10, 2013 at 5:54pm: I big, BIG THANKS to all those who participated. A ride is only as good as it's riders and this one was fantastic! And I couldn't have done it without the maps of Carl Boyd, the shoulder of John Ladner, the dummy skills of Owen & Alan Boyd, as well as the transport of "Wrongway" Jourdaine and "Guy Hauling" of Notorious Dug & Charlie Rifenburg!
