Dang! I will be embarrassing myself by dancing at Clarkfest

 that day, but I might go out there the next day!

And don't stand too close to the pirogi boilers :)

Oak Park Cycle Club is shooting for a Sunday ride down, also. Alligator sausage sandwiches. Yum.

I could use a day with no responsibilities

Not to put too fine a point on it but CCC usually scorches down, stays as long as it takes to wolf a pirogi plate, then passes us on our way down ...

Currently Saturday is forecast to have a high of....  81!  No heat to miss (finally)!!!!

Oh, if we left earlier, we'd have more time to get there and avoid the heat, and the ride would be truly "relaxed" :)

10 am departure time is a bit late isn't it?
