Join British Bicycles of Chicago to celebrate the 407th anniversary of the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot. How? By spiffing ourselves up, riding our bikes and having a bonfire.
We will meander from Roscoe Village to Bridgeport, pausing at Happy Village and Skylark to refresh ourselves and chat. The ride will be capped off with a roaring bonfire at Bubbly Dynamics, thanks to Mr. Owen Lloyd.
One of the best loved BBC rides, it promises a scenic route, great riding companions, snappy dressers and a fire hot enough to melt glass.
Break out your finest winter clothing, strap a log to your bike rack and fill your flask. A golden autumn day awaits you and your bicycle. BYOM (marshmallows).
Come earlier and enjoy lunch if you like ~
Departure from Four Moon Tavern will be at 1:30 pm; Skylark is cash only and you will need photo identification to enter.

A little background from our sister org across the waters-
Ash: as long as you are prepared to run the risk of being tossed on the fire along with the effigy of guy Fawkes!
:-)
I'm having a maternity tweed wear crisis. Would you still begrudgingly accept me if I'm unable to find anything by Saturday?
One week left to prepare!
* Check clothing for moth damage
* Reattach loose buttons
* Shine shoes
* Rinse out flask or thermos
* Find a piece of wood for the fire
A blustery day will be provided at no extra charge. Bring your rosy cheeks.
~No other ride in Chicago includes an effigy~
Start practicin' your Britishisms now! And no pulling a Lenin at the bonfire :)
It's been a quiet week along Lake Michigan. Wait, no it hasn't ! BTW, have you ever noticed that da' Square Wheelman (Garth), looks like the guys on Mythbusters ? And, they recently did a few shows where they oufiited a truck with square wheels ? A coincidence ?
