Buckingham Fountain. Ride meets at 8 am and promply leaves at 8:30 am

This is a moderately paced ride so leave your scorcher at home.

We will be meeting at the Buckingham Fountain and head south, then west, then north, then east and finally south again encompassing the vast perimeter of one of the greatest cities in the world, Chicago!

This is a century! Bring a bike that is in good working order and has decent tires on it, the south and westsides has some glass issues that are beyond our control. Bring plenty of water and clothing that you can layer up with when the sun goes down. Finally bring cash for the food stops.

What a fun ride! I already cannot wait until next year. Thanks so much Kevin and David for planning and leading.

Yeah - Thanks Kevin and David!  It was a swell time AGAIN!  My bed is full of sand and I have a bunch of strange bruises.  I'm pretty sure that means I had a good time.

That was a great ride. I had a great time. Thank you Kevin and David for all your efforts setting up the ride.

So sad I couldn't come. Thought I was clear and got a text at 9 that I needed to work.

Well, I'm still waiting to hear from my weekend job about working tomorrow, but if I'm not I plan to show up! (I am secretly really hoping I can come- doing my first century this weekend, on a more relaxed ride that I can opt out of and take transport home if necessary, would be kinda nuts but it's beautiful out and I feel really up for seeing how it goes...)
Comment by David P. on September 27, 2013 at 4:28am

Great - thanks. Oooh, and that would let me stop by Aripo's for some homeland food! :)

5 pm target is pretty close to, or in Oak Park. (Very close to the Blue Line).

Comment by David P. on September 27, 2013 at 2:06am

Keeping in mind Kevin's 'excruciatingly moderate' comment and desire to speed it up  abit, etc., where do y'all think the ride is likely to be around 5PM or so? I'd love to do this but have plans for the evening and doubt I can stay out later than that.
