Join us for this longtime Bike Winter Tradition!
We'll meet up on March 17 at the food court of the Ogilvie Center, 500 W. Madison, at 7:30 am and catch the 8:30 Metra train with our bikes to Harvard, IL. We'll arrive at 10:20, then pedal roughly 75 miles to the Great Dane brewpub downtown Madison, WI, to hang out with local cyclists. A bit of St. Patrick's Day barhopping is a possibility, after which we will crash on couches and floors provided by Madison Bike Winter folks.
Following a hearty brunch Sunday morning, we'll bicycle back to Harvard to catch the 6:35 or 8:35 pm train, arriving at Ogilvie at 8:23 or 10:23 pm.
Since space on Metra is limited to 20 bikes and I need to arrange home stays in Madison, an RSVP is strictly required. But please don't RSVP unless you definitely plan on showing up.

John, thanks for the great adventure!
Hey guys; great ride!
I'm sorry I couldn't hang with you guys at Great Dane; my wife met me at the bar and smelled my stank, thereby suggesting I should to walk back to our hotel and shower.
Can't wait for the next ride...who's up for Milwaukee? :)
Great ride everyone!
Thanks for putting this together, John. Great weekend, great ride, great to meet all of you. Hopefully we get to ride together again soon.
Folks, I'm really, really sorry but somehow I slept through my two alarms. I probably won't make it downtown in time to board at Ogilvie, so please catch the 8:30 Union Pacific Northwest train to Harvard. I will be boarding at Clybourn. Again, very, very sorry, but looking forward to a great ride. Someone please give me a call to confirm you got this. Thanks, John 312-560-3966.
Here's the final route, under 75 miles: http://g.co/maps/w4juf
