Description

This is the third-annual Easter Sunday bike ride to the Botanic Gardens.

We'll meet near Beans and Bagels on Rockwell at 9:30 for a 10 am departure, then ride to the North Branch trail on up to the Botanic Gardens. We may take the Green Bay Trail on the return trip. Mileage ends up being around 40 miles, round trip, mostly on paved trails.

This will be a no-drop ride. If you want to be festive, I'd be happy to affix some balloon bunny ears to your helmet.

We will return to Chicago and eat a late lunch/early dinner.

Comment by Julie Aberman (Hochstadter) on April 24, 2011 at 2:21am: I plan on meeting you guys for coffee before you take off!

Comment by Kelly on April 24, 2011 at 2:03am: Jami, you got your wish!!! Should be a beautiful day for a ride. I won't be able to attend. I have a family lunch/dinner that I am afraid time-wise is going to clash with our return time. Can I get a rain check on bunny ears? ha!

Comment by Melanie K on April 23, 2011 at 7:53am: Yay! Tornados. Not a claim, an adventure!

Comment by Kelly on April 23, 2011 at 2:36am: Mid 50s and cloudy. no rain you guys!!!

Comment by BalloonBiker on April 22, 2011 at 10:48am: We're going regardless of the rain. The precipitation will determine the level of adventure involved in the ride! Melanie and Robert have claimed to have ridden through tornados...maybe we'll get one of those.
