Description

A slow century around the city with lots of stops for site-seeing, snacking and skinnydipping. Meet up at Wicker Park Fountain at 9:30 AM, depart at 10:00 sharp. Bring breakfast to the fountain if you wish, but we will leave promptly at 10.

After the ride I'll be printing up some light red American Apparel ringer T-shirts with the above design. Give me $10 and your size at the ride. I'll announce a happy hour a week or two later where you can pick up your shirt.

Sure, Kathleen, you'll have no problem. Your main issue on such a sporty bike may be boredom, since the ride fluctuates between 8 and 12 mph. If you've got a hard saddle, padded shorts are probably a good idea - it's a lot of time sitting on a bike seat (a lot of time out of the saddle as well.)

Lord willin and the creek don't rise, I will be there. I've always wanted to go on this ride. Any tips from veterans? I have a single speed with a rather high gear ratio. Think I can hang? Def. gonna need some padded shorts.
