Description

BRC British Pub Cycle

Saturday, June 6th. @1:45pm

Ride starts at Ogilvy Train station (Madison and Clinton)

We'll ride up to The Globe Pub, then to The Duke of Perth, and finally The Red Lion Pub. Feel free to meet up anywhere along the route.

This will be a casual ride, through some great chicago neighborhoods and landmarks. All are welcome! Still, I hope we have a core group of Bromptons among us!

Comment by Justyna on June 5, 2015 at 2:50am: Happy to learn about this and thanks for including Rapid Transit in the loop! After our morning ride to the 606 (which I also expect to be a zoo), I will try to join everyone at one of the Pub stops. --Justyna

Comment by Matheis on June 4, 2015 at 5:58pm: Heard Rapid Transit bike shop is also doing a Brompton ride that morning for the 606 opening celebration. I intend to do both and spend the whole day on my Brompton! Here is the info:

"Bring out your Brompton, and be one of the first to enjoy Chicago's newest bike trail.

Meet us at
Rapid Transit Cycleshop
1900 W. North Ave, Chicago
on Saturday, June 6 at 9:30am

We'll enjoy some quick morning treats, and then ride our Bromptons to the trail! We plan to ride the length of the 3-mile trail and back, and hopefully make some new Brompton fans along the way. We'll ride rain or shine (hopefully, the latter).

Comment by Melissa Zammit on June 4, 2015 at 1:28pm: Yay! The more the merrier!

Comment by Marcusn on June 4, 2015 at 10:20am: When I learned about 2 big bikes joining us, I mentioned it to my better half (and big bike rider), and now she may want in too. If you've got a friend or other that isn't a true Bromptoneer, consider inviting them along.

Comment by Marcusn on June 4, 2015 at 3:35am: 'We could get sucked in and never leave!'

Nice!

Comment by Melissa Zammit on June 4, 2015 at 3:03am: I am for sure going to make it on Saturday, I am also bringing 2 other "big bike" riders.

We would love to check out the trail! Maybe just a quick stop depending on how busy it is? We could get sucked in and never leave!

Comment by Kenneth Obel on June 4, 2015 at 2:52am: That would be cool, though it's expected to be a total mob scene, so might not be the best day for a group ride there!

Hope everyone saw the nice retweet we got on Twitter from @BromptonBicycles. Maybe we'll get a little more interest from that.

Comment by Marcusn on June 3, 2015 at 3:08pm: Really looking forward to the ride on Saturday! Not coincidentally, it's also the opening day of the long awaited Bloomingdale Trail! When we all gather at the corner of Madison and Clinton at 1:45, we'll see if we feel like heading to the opening day festivities prior to The Globe.

If we all agree it's worth a stop, this would be the revised route: http://bit.ly/1M6jgSD

See you then.

Comment by Marcusn on May 30, 2015 at 10:08am: It would be lovely to meet you all! Feel no pressure to join for the entire ride. Anyone can leave the group whenever they'd like. This may help you get out of town with less pressure;-)

Comment by Melissa Zammit on May 30, 2015 at 9:33am: I hope Eliza(brommie), my husband and I can make it! We are going out of town later that evening but will really try and make it!
