Description

Join us for this longtime Bike Winter Tradition!

We'll meet up on March 17 at the food court of the Ogilvie Center, 500 W. Madison, at 7:30 am and catch the 8:30 Metra train with our bikes to Harvard, IL. We'll arrive at 10:20, then pedal roughly 75 miles to the Great Dane brewpub downtown Madison, WI, to hang out with local cyclists. A bit of St. Patrick's Day barhopping is a possibility, after which we will crash on couches and floors provided by Madison Bike Winter folks.

Following a hearty brunch Sunday morning, we'll bicycle back to Harvard to catch the 6:35 or 8:35 pm train, arriving at Ogilvie at 8:23 or 10:23 pm.

Since space on Metra is limited to 20 bikes and I need to arrange home stays in Madison, an RSVP is strictly required. But please don't RSVP unless you definitely plan on showing up.

Great time indeed.  Thanks tons, John.  

Turns out I broke a spoke somewhere along the road, went out to fix it last night at West Town Bikes and noticed some severe corrosion on the rim.  I guess I was pretty lucky the whole thing didn't massively fail out in the middle of farm country!  Time to build a new rear wheel...

Folks, If you borrowed a map from me, please drop it off for me sometime at Boulevard Bikes, 2535 N. Kedzie in Logan Square. We'll be having live music and free beer there this Thursday from 6 - 8 pm if anyone wants to stop by for an FSC reunion.
