Description

Dark Lord Day is the only day of the year to buy Three Floyds Dark Lord Russian imperial stout, described in the NY Times as "plain goodness". DLD is a festival where participants can meet other beer enthusiasts, sample beers from all over the world, buy Dark Lord, try Oak Aged Dark Lord, eat BBQ, listen to live music, and generally have a great time.

We'll leave the clock tower at 8:30, pick up South Siders at the 31st Street beach house at 9:15, take a short break at Wolf Lake, partake of Dark Lord Day, and return.

Going, we'll take the Daniel Burnham Centennial Century route, coming back, the traditional winter route.

This will be a "TOUR ride" with few stops. We won't necessarily stay together. Faster riders may go ahead, and slower riders may drop back.

Bring money, a lock, snacks to have en route, and panniers for Dark Lord you don't finish there.

And be prepared for rain...

Anyone interested is more than welcome to meet us at the brew pub if they don't care to participate in the bike ride.

Comment by igz on April 23, 2010 at 9:44am: chance of precipitation down to 30%

Comment by bobweiser on April 23, 2010 at 7:57am: Are some of you meeting up at Buckingham Fountain? If so, we'll try to remember to slow down as we pass by. :-)

Also, I've been asked when we'll be returning. I'm expecting we won't return as a single group. Dark Lord doesn't go on sale to people without "golden tickets" until 5 pm. And I'm supposed to be at the opera at 7:30 pm.

Comment by shar on April 23, 2010 at 7:35am: weather.com is making the ride less than appealing for tomorrow. i still plan on going to the event but chances of me actually riding with the group is getting slim to none right now.

Humboldt Park if anyone is interested.

Comment by Eric Miller on April 23, 2010 at 12:26am: I'm not weak either. It's just that my mommy told me I couldn't get my skirt wet.

Comment by Adam "Cezar" Jenkins on April 22, 2010 at 1:44pm: So far they are predicting a single storm, around noon. I can handle that.

I am not weak.
