Description

No, this isn't about trying, after having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, to carry any message to alcoholics, or to practice any principles in all our affairs.

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.

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.

45 miles total if you take the Metra back, 70 if you ride both ways. 14-17 mph. I like to get there before they open at noon (it's the third-best brewery in the world, so sometimes there's a line). Bring money, government-issued ID, a lock, lights since it's one of the shortest days of the year, water and snacks to have en route, and panniers for beer you can't get in Chicago.

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

I was a block south of Haymarket around 530 then I was like "f*ck those guys." I was drained.

Yea we had and scant tailwind at the start but by the time we got to the lakefront it was none existent. Slow going between the cold and the wind. We did make it to the hay market by 5 for some refuling for the rest of the ride home.

you had to cut through the wind on the way back, too? unfair!

Glad to have met you all. Too bad I got dropped like a bad habit on the windy lfp on the way back. Don't know how you guys cut through that wind.
