Description
No, this isn't about making a list of all the people we've harmed and becoming willing to make amends to them.
It's about riding to Three Floyds and boosting our cognitive function every month this year! Now there's a consistent schedule -- the 4th Saturday of every month -- others have opportunities to lead (I can't make it every time), and you can qualify for the F-12 Award.
The ride takes the lakefront trail south from the Clock Tower. You can join up anywhere along the trail. Just let the group know where so they can look for you.
42 miles total if you ride to Hammond and take the South Shore Line, 45 if you ride to Flossmoor Station and take the Metra, 50 if you ride to 93rd and take the Metra or to 100th and take the J14, 55 if you ride to 71st and take the J14, 70 if you ride both ways. 17-20 mph. I like to get there before they open at 11:00 (it's still the fourth-best brewery in the world, so sometimes there's a line). Bring money, government-issued ID, a lock, water and snacks to have en route, and panniers for beer you can't get in Chicago.
Online resources: Google map, cue sheet, South Shore Line Bikes on Trains schedule, Metra Electric train schedules, Jeffrey Jump (J14) bus schedule, South Shore Line FAQ, Metra policy, CTA guide, and, to save a minute at the start, the nifty online CCC waiver.

Try to cry out in the heat of the moment. Possessed by a fury that burns from inside. Experimental Hop IPA
and maybe (it's hard to tell from their web site) at 18th street:
Gold Mano : Golden Ale
8% ABV
Belgian Golden Ale w/Pineapple
13oz Draft $5.00Imperial Rye IPA : IPA - Imperial / Double
8% ABV
Brewed in collaboration with our friends at New Oberpfalz in Griffith, Indiana, This hopped up imperial rye IPA delivers incredible juicy hop flavor and a crisp dry finish.
13oz Draft $5.00Mango Gose : Gose
10oz Draft $5.00Disciple's Revenge : IPA - Imperial / Double
9.8% ABV
Under the innocent guise of a floral, citrus aroma, lies in wait the power of the true Imperial Indian Pale Ale.
22oz Bottle $13.00
