Ash, thanks for the calendar entry for Saturday's ride.  I don't have a specific route idea for the ride though.  One possibility might be trying to find a route to Humboldt park mainly or in part using the neighborhood streets to the west of Kedzie.  But I haven't really looked into it to evaluate it.

 

For July or August perhaps a ride to Margie's Candy & Ice Cream might be popular.  Might require rsvp's and contacting them in advance to go smoothly.

Hey Todd, I added the April 9th ride to the calendar. Did you want to start a discussion over there about the route you head in mind? I like to ride the routes the week of the ride to make a note of intersections, traffic concerns and corking needs.

I saw the cutest animal helmets at Target today.  Only in kids' sizes of course, so I'm sharing it with you.

I think they were $19.79 and $21.99

And will post to Empirical Opera...

oops- pressed the button too soon! I'd also post at Margate Park at the park district field house.

Hi Todd-

Ash and I are meeting today to put together a little workshop for before the ride.  Also Chil mama blog said they would be glad to post.

about the Cyclelogical ride.

Can someone post a calendar entry for the Apr 9th Palmer Square ride?  It would also be good to discuss ride ideas and make a route.

I made a very basic flier for the Clarendon Park ride. I print 5 of these on an 8.5x11 page and they are suitable for taping on to bike racks, bikes or just passing out. I'll leave a few at Uptown bikes and the Clarendon Park fieldhouse. Any other suggested locations?
