Description

Remember, Remember!

The fifth of November,

The Gunpowder treason and plot;

I know of no reason

Why the Gunpowder treason

Should ever be forgot!

Stops Including

(in this order):

The Aberdeen Tap

440 N. Aberdeen

(meet here around noon and leave by 1:30pm SHARP)

The Bucktown Pub

1658 N. Cortland

The Beer Bistro

1061 West Madison

Simone's Bar

960 W 18th

Bubbly Dynamics

1048 W 37th St

(Burn, Baby, Burn after Sundown!)

It's guaranteed to be a most wonderful occasion but a crisp yet warm day is predicted so prepare accordingly. Also some other tips to make this bummel ever-so enjoyable:

We have a goodly number of stops and a short day. We suggest bringing cash. Your transactions will be shorter at the bar.
Several establishments serve victuals as well as refreshments and it will be a LONG night. Do take advantage.
While we will providing a suitably visaged Guy Fawkes and the materials to immolate him, this is a BYOB bonfire. We suggest you prepare accordingly when we roll by several take-away libatory establishments in the Bridgeport area.
Finally ... gents why do some of you come on your CX bike, clad as lycra-louts? Please remember to match the ladies in their sartorial finery. Either a classic stead or wooly threads will do. Both would be exceptional indeed!

Comment by Matty Ice on October 8, 2013 at 2:08pm: Oh man, the tweed ride is great! I realized I'd be out of town for this ride :-(. Have fun!

Comment by Kevin C Dormant on October 8, 2013 at 12:23pm: @Mike: If memory serves, the 39th is the carbon fiber anniversary...

Comment by Peter Naiman on October 8, 2013 at 9:50am: I'll be attending depending on the weather.

Hetch

Comment by Alice M. Bernstein on October 7, 2013 at 5:36pm: I would like to attend, but the starting point and weather will be deciding factors. If I can drive to the starting point, I will do it. Otherwise, I think it might be too dangerous for me to be out on the streets at that time.

Comment by Marcy on October 7, 2013 at 4:11pm: Thanks so much for the invite! If I can get my tires fixed by then- I'm in!!!
