The Chainlink

I am thinking about putting a ride together down to Skydive Chicago. It will be the weekend of May 21-22. They have a campground at their facility that will be free to use. This is also the first ride I'm planning, any info/advice will be greatly appreciated.

Does that mean you're jumping out of a plane? Or just a nice bike ride to watch daring folks jumpimg out of planes?
Sounds fun. I could see a bike ride there and then hanging around and watching. No jump for me! Are you at the point of a planned route yet. Any SAG support?
I am very interested. that is on my bucket list ;-)

hmm, this sounds very interesting, I might consider using a metra sling shot from joliet :)

Great idea.  I need to get racks and panniers for my Trucker before the end of May.

 

Has anyone see any restrictions on putting loaded bikes into Metra?  They might be a little pissy about that.

I have been wanting to jump for a couple years now, but I don't think I can ride down there. I might drive down that weekend and maybe put the trunk rack on my car in case someone decides to bail on the ride back.
I love this idea, though I'll be in Alaska when you go.  I'm looking forward to seeing pictures!
I've done it previously, having an assembly line when the train shows up makes it easier (one person hand bikes/gear up onto the train another on the train taking the bikes and gear)

Jason,

 

Are you thinking self-contained or would we be relying on restaurants for meals?


This is the same weekend i would be planning 'never too soon to go camping' trip in zion.  otherwise i'd be in.  its also close to starved rock park.  i wouldnt mind it a bit later in the season. (the air up there would be a bit warmer too)

Iggi,

 

It's also never too soon to go to camping in Ottawa either. :)
