Description

No, this isn't about seeking through meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understand Him and praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

It's about trying to ride to Three Floyds every month this year.

We start by taking the lakefront trail south from the Clock Tower. You can join up anywhere along the trail. Just let me know where so we can look for you.

It's not often you can get 5 beers rated 100 (Permanent Funeral, Dreadnaught, Arctic Panzer Wolf, Alpha King, and Zombie Dust) on tap!

45 miles total if you take the Metra back, 70 if you ride both ways. 15-18 mph. We don't make many stops. We don't always stay together. My goal is to get there before they open (at noon), so we don't have to wait as long to get in (it's the second-best brewery in the world, so sometimes there's a line). Returning, it's more relaxed. Bring money, 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, Metra schedule, Metra rules, and, to save us all a minute at the start, the nifty online CCC waiver.

Definitely maybe.  I need to be back earlyish; forecast afternoon wind is NW gusting 25 and I dont want to push that for 40 miles.  If I go, I plan to catch the 3:10 or 4:10 from Flossmoor.
