Hello fine people! Mother Nature is raining on our parade; HOWEVER, I am committing to bicycling. I'll still meet at the pool and dine at Cafe Orchid and drink at Revolution. The timeline is likely close tho the bike riding may be less toury and more direct. Please join up even if you need to CTA or drive. There will be no swimming today (sorry, ladies). Leave your speedos and bikinis at home this time--or wear them, who are we to judge...see you soon!

"Keep an eye on this Facebook page for updates. If it looks like a wash, I'll probably just ride to Revolution on Kedzie." 

If the weather is bad and you just end up going to Rev and you want company, please update this page/post. I might join you.
