Description

Newest Brewery Grand Opening!

That would be the Chain O'Lakes in McHenry, IL. The festivities start at noon of Saturday, 24th of August.

So . . . Let's meet at the Ogilvie Metra station at 8 in the morning and take 8:30 UP-NW train to Crystal Lake. Ride 9 miles to McHenry. After sampling what the new brewery has to offer (there should be music and a Raging Kitchen food truck), pedal about 19 miles to the Tighthead Brewing (tap room only) in Mundelein; then 4 miles to the Mickey Finn's in Libertyville (food on premises); and, finally, another 6 miles to the Lake Bluff Brewing.

Return options: ride back to Chicago; take the train from Lake Bluff (those who'd prefer to be back sooner can board Metra in Livertyville).

Metra weekend pass: $7.00.

Trails: Prairie, Millennium, North Shore Bike Path.

Overall distance: ~38 miles.

Minimum average speed: 10 mph.

The usual: water, snacks, spare tubes, sunscreen, etc.

Weather.

More details to follow, if needed.

Comment by Serge Lubomudrov on August 23, 2013 at 11:45pm: Last piece of information, guys: cash only tomorrow at the Chain O'Lakes grand opening. Bring snacks, as the food truck arrives at 2 p.m. (or we can get something to eat nearby).

See you in the morning!

Comment by djm on August 23, 2013 at 5:49pm: Serge — I did, but it took a little while for my post-work mind to comprehend and by then you were off in the distance. :-) See you tomorrow.

Comment by Serge Lubomudrov on August 23, 2013 at 3:15pm: The weather is looking up!

Comment by Serge Lubomudrov on August 23, 2013 at 2:00pm: See you tomorrow, Dan.

. . . By the way, did you hear me yelling your name yesterday, at Sedgwick/Lincoln/Armitage intersection?
