I can definitely wait!

Adam,

I missed that ride, too. We went there with Carol last Sunday, but by train and bus.

Will join you (if you're willing to wait) when I'm back to Chicago from vacation.

The warm weather has inspired me. Would there be any interest in a ride to the Lake Bluff Brewery with a stop at the Botanic Garden next month?

Honesty I don't think I am fit enough yet for a longer ride. I will not be offended if a group split off after LBB to go somewhere else.

Serge Lubomudrov said:

I don't see why not. I would prefer to combine LBB with something other brewery on a ride, but that should not stop prevent you from putting an event together and posting it on the CBES page :)

Wouldn't be able to make it Sunday. I'll be at a fellow CBES'ers BBQ! 

I would be 50/50 for a Monday ride. 

Serge Lubomudrov said:

The weather is promising (knocking on wood) to be great this upcoming Memorial Day weekend. After riding to the 3FFF and other places Saturday, I'd like to use the favorable conditions to pedal somewhere else Sunday and, perhaps, Monday also.

So . . . I've contacted the Imperial Oak, which had their "soft" opening last Friday. They said there is 90% chance they will be opened this Sunday.

I've also asked (no answer yet) whether The Benjamin Beer Company in Paddock Lake, WI can give me a sneak preview (they will not be opened until July). In case of a positive response, I might go on a pre-ride there.

I don't want to post it as an official event. If someone (or some-two or -three) wants to join me, let me know.

That is true but I will be busy Sunday during the day.

Ok I can definitely do a ride on Monday. Wind forecast is from the south and I'm itching to ride the Des Plaines River Trail.  It's my favorite trail and it just so happens to go most of the way to Paddock Lake WI. About 70 miles via this route.  It's about 17-18 miles back to Round Lake Metra. A few miles further than to Kenosha but the train schedule is much better. 

If you can't get the sneak preview then we could ride the trail to Firkin for lunch and then head to Tighthead. We could ride back to the city from there or take Metra.  

What do you think Serge?  


Serge Lubomudrov said:

Oh, I've almost forgotten . . . I think, though, that the party and the iOak are not mutually exclusive ;)

All good Serge. Looking forward to those growlers! 

Well I'm still going to ride the DPRT this Monday up to Tighthead. If anyone else is interested in joining then just shoot me a message! 

Serge Lubomudrov said:

Gee . . . Sorry, Rich! Can't do Monday, after all. I'm checking with the brewer, maybe the 8th (don't have the answer yet). But you're right: even if they are not there, and if the weather is right, DPR Trail is calling ;)

Speaking of this Sunday the 25th, I think I'll go to the iOak (if they will be open, that is), and bring a growler or two to share with Herr Panzerkampfwagen and the rest ;)

Tighthead is closed Mondays so looks like I'll be riding up to Firkin. Anyone is welcome to join!
