Description

It's time for an April ride on the scenic Prairie and Fox River Trails! 

We'll catch the 8:30 Union Pacific Northwest out of Ogilvie to Crystal Lake. From there we'll take the Fox River Trail south. First stop will either be Emmett's or Village Vintner for light lunch and beer. Then we'll proceed another 18-26 miles to Penrose Tap Room which I can't wait to try! From there it'll be a final 11 miles to the Two Brother's Roundhouse. Total distance is a bit less than 50 miles. 

Click here for route

BNSF home from the Roundhouse at 4:20, 6:20, and 8:20 with a limit of 10 bikes per train. If there's a lot of us then some can ride 11 miles back to Geneva to catch the 6:37 or 8:37 Union Pacific West back to Chicago. 

 

Please bring:

-lock

-bungee for Metra

-extra tube

May have to have to miss this one. I have a 94 floors climb the next day

I'm not opposed to swapping Emmett's for Village Vintners especially since I've been to both of the other Emmett's. I just don't want to stop at both. It can't possibly be worse than Stockholm's!

Why no Village Vinters?

Bummer!  Heather & I will be in Montreal that weekend.  Have a blast all!

Cool we'll keep that in mind, Adam.

It's possible to take the trail instead of Pyott/Algonquin through the construction.  We figured it out last weekend.  See my notes here:  http://www.thechainlink.org/xn/detail/2211490:Comment:806870

You can also catch the train at other stations too.  If I go I'll get on at Jefferson Park.

Maybe my lock will still be visible in the Fox River under the long wooden bridge!
