Can't make it to Iowa for the Hobo National Convention this year? Then join us, get out of the City, and explore the fine establishments along the Burlington Northern Santa Fe train line.
Ride the rails to Forest park, just west of Chicago. Gather at at the Old School Tavern with the rest of the Rough Necks. We leave sometime after that but we're in no hurry!

My first map had the wrong address in for Off the Traxx ...
Commonly known as a "Bag on a Stick"!
After much adventurous and, dare I say, arduous pre-riding with Charlie and Ed, we have finally narrowed down the multitudinous establishments to Six Fine Examples of Hobo Haunts!
Old School Bar And Grill in Forest Park
Traxx in Brookfield
Brixies in Old Congress Park
Quan's Oasis in Berwyn
George's in Berwyn
The Beacon Pub in Forest Park
Yes, more exhaustive research was done by your fellow hobos over the weekend and the route map will be posted within the next couple of days. There is even a picture around somewhere of one of the most interesting features we will see. (and most dangerous)
Have you settled on a route yet, so I could try to join the ride part-way through?
Excellent!
North-east-siders: How about we meet at the clock tower at 10:00 AM sharp and leave no later than 10:30?
Our options are either go ride all the way to the bar (strength in number) or ride down to the Blue line and take that to Harlem, then a short ride to the bar.
Sounds like a blast. Trying to get a group together for Ragbrai. This sounds like a great start.
"Starts at midnight?"
That sounds like a good idea too, but meant Noon.
Fixed.
Sorry - gk
Starts at midnight?
