Description

No, this isn't about making direct amends to the people we've harmed whenever doing so is possible and won't injure them or others.

It's about trying to ride to Three Floyds every month this year! Now there's a consistent schedule -- the 4th Saturday of every month -- others have opportunities to lead (I can't make it every time), and you can qualify for the F-12 Award.

September is National Century Month, so this step is a century -- if you ride enough extra to and from the start. The ride takes the lakefront trail south from the Clock Tower. You can join up anywhere along the trail. Just let the group know where so they can look for you.

35 miles to Three Floyds + 10 miles to Flossmoor Station = 45 miles. Take the Metra Electric home or ride another 30 miles to Brixie's = 75 miles. Take the BNSF home or ride another 20 miles to Revolution, West Lakeview, and back to the clock tower = 95 miles. 15-18 mph. Bring money, government-issued ID, a lock, lights since we're staying out late, water and snacks to have en route, and panniers for beer you can't get where you usually shop.

Online resources: Google map, cue sheet, conversation about this ride, Metra Electric Flossmoor schedule, BNSF Brookfield schedule, Metra rules, and, to save a minute at the start, the nifty online CCC waiver.

new since last time:

  • Oh Myyyy Takei
    9.2% ABV 15 IBUs $6 Snifter

    Japanese style lager brewed with Sake and Kolsch yeast.

and guest drafts:

  • Flat 12 Spirit Mover Saison
    5% ABV $5 Tulip

    A saison aged in a brandy barrel.

  • Left Hand 400 Pound Monkey
    6.8% ABV $5 Tulip

    Brewed with hops of a different color, earthy and herbal, well-balanced by bready malt. The result? An English-style IPA that separates itself from the ubiquitous bunch.

I am liking the century option, hopefully I will have the opportunity to pay off my debt.
