Description

The long-delayed return to Rockford for the CBES. 

Take the 8:30 AM UP NW Metra to Harvard.   Ride to Carlyle Brewing, then a short hop to Rockford Brewing, then to PiG Minds in a "suburb" of R-town, then back to Harvard.   There is a 7:35 PM train and a 9:35 train back.   73 miles total. 

Map

Bring:  Water, snacks, flat fixing gear, lights, TiNa. 

12 mph minimum pace:  its a long ride and no one wants to sleep in a farmer's field outside of Harvard.

Tentative "relaxed pace" itinerary:

10:30 Arrive Harvard
1:30 Carlyle
3:00 Rockford Brewing
4:00 Leave Rockford Brewing
5:00 Arrive PiG Minds
6:30 Leave PiG Minds
9:00 Arrive Harvard

In regard to Metra tickets, purchasing via the Ventra mobile app is also a nifty option, as it doesn't require cash :)

Look for the signs that say "To Harvard".  And its $8 cash.

Do I buy a ticket ON the train?

Yes — there is no penalty to purchase a weekend pass from the conductor on the train, which is the best value for the round-trip.

Ah, it's the northwest line on the west tracks? google satellite never fails if you look harder.

Hey to get northbound can I use the Ashland entrance? I've never been there. Do I buy a ticket ON the train? Thanks.

I will board on Clybourn unless someone else gets on at Oglevie.

I'll be hopping on the first a.m. train, boarding at the Clybourn station@8:38 and will meet folks on the train.
