Description

NOTE: Please read comments below.

Have you been wanting to try the new Vincennes bike lane but thought it would be better with a ride buddy or two?  Come out on Friday morning and bring a friend.  We had a great time on last week's ride.  Looks like we could even have a tailwind this Friday.

I'd like to have a morning group ride at least once a week for as long as the weather allows.  I'll be riding from Beverly to the Loop.  If you want to ride north (commute or recreation) for part or all the ride, you're welcome to join the train.  

Stops will be brief to keep the train moving.  If I've gotten no confirmations for a specific stop and I don't see anyone waiting, we'll keep moving past that stop.

If you're joining in, please RSVP and leave a comment saying where you're going to join, along with any questions or suggestions.  If you're responding after 7:00 a.m. on the day of the ride, please text me with your name and meet-up location.

Here's an estimated schedule.  

99th & Wood - LEAVING at 7:30 a.m.

95th & Vincennes - 7:36

91st & Vincennes - 7:39

87th & Halsted  - 7:43

83rd & Vincennes  - 7:47
(Simeon Career Academy)

79th & Vincennes  - 7:50

76th & Vincennes - 7:53

71st & Vincennes  - 7:58

From there, we'll cross the Dan Ryan, then continue north.  I'll be going to the Loop.  Take as short or long a ride as you wish.  On the way, we can talk about possible future rides, including weekend rides.

Get on the bike train!  Let's create a positive bike presence in the Vincennes bike lane.

After last night's volatile weather and seeing thunderstorms popping up on radar this a.m. (and not feeling so great this morning), I will NOT be riding this morning.  If you choose to ride, please post on the related comment thread about how it went. I'm planning to go again next week.

If you're thinking about joining in and unsure about the weather at departure time, feel free to text me or give me a call. The forecast looks kinda iffy right now.
