Description
British Bicycles of Chicago is hosting the 2010 Bonfire Tweed Ride. Don your best woollies, strap some wood to your bicycle rack and join us.
The route will be from Ravenswood to Bubbly Creek with stops along the way at a relaxed pace. We will take in parks, industrial and residential areas as darkness falls. The finale will be the lighting of a bonfire!
Warm yourself by the glow of the fire, after riding in style with friends old and new. Cue sheets, spoke cards and prizes will be provided.

Garth:
I'll be driving down on Saturday morning, but staying with Owen & Angela over Saturday night. Probably heading out early on Sunday morning to a bike show & swap in Rockford?
My aim is to leave Blue City Cycles between 11am & noon and head up the lakefront trail, the nearer to 11am the betterer - more start-up drinking time in the pub! And fortifying toddies on the way up north to the start, keeping the chill at bay?

Alan!
Erin and I are planning to drop off her car at Bubble Creek then ride up to the start. I presume you're staying with Owen & Co Friday night. You want to roll together?

Is there a list of bar stops yet? I'll be working until 3 am the day before and wont get to bed until closer to 6 am. So I'll probably be meeting up around 4pm.

And I was thinking of riding up the lakefront trail from Bridgeport to Montrose Harbo(u)r to get to the start, could be a nice Saturday morning ride?

This is going to be a sweet ride! I just pre rode it and all I can say is WOW!

Today is the shake-down run for the second 3-speed I'm loaning, it has higher gearing than the other two (19-tooth cog, instead of 22) and has me thinking that I need to up the gearing on t'others! Chicagoland is flat, after all?

The BBC isn't that pedantic and, anyway, a lot of what Schwinn built was based upon what they learnt from trips to the UK in the 1930s - their oddly-sized 26" (IE: Schwinn's S-6=597mm, not 590mm) wheels, for example, are based upon the British EA-1 rim size!

Cam and I have made our tandem suitable for riding, but it is a schwinn, so we will for this tweed ride be ditching the ralieghs in favor of an american bike, but maybe add a brooks.
