Comment by Stewski on October 25, 2008 at 11:18am: Looks like its going to be a windy day, 25-35 mph winds to the southeast, with gusts up to 45 mph. The ride to back might be the best part.

Comment by Kelly on October 25, 2008 at 3:07am: Train ride!? What's the fun in that?! hehe. For those of you looking for a shorter route though the Green Bay Trail along the Metra lines shaves off some time heading back.

Comment by Bob Kastigar on October 25, 2008 at 2:42am: A suggestion: You can take Metra back into the city; the Braeside station is only about 1/2 mile east of the Garden, on Lake-Cook Road on the north end.

Comment by Brian on October 22, 2008 at 5:56am: I'm in for as long as I can take it. Is Dad coming?

Comment by Amie on October 22, 2008 at 4:37am: i may cut out early, but i'm in +1.

Comment by Stewski on October 22, 2008 at 3:44am: I'm going to try to be there, the only impediments would be either a wine hangover from the night before or a massive dump of work (hopefully neither are especially likely).
