Description
Lawrence (starting at Clark) to Elston, NBT to Lake Cook, Lake Cook to Sheridan, up to Highwood, then Sheridan back to Chicago cutting over to LFP in Evanston (or whatever its called there next to the lake) and then down Sheridan/Broadway to Uptown or perhaps Andersonville for lunch/beer.
We will average about 16-18 mph for this trip. Road bike is highly recommended. We'll stop in Highwood for a fifteen minute break at the turnaround but otherwise expect to bike straight through. Expectation is that we'll be back on the Northside at around 11.30.
We can meet anybody on the way as we go out Lawrence or at the entrance to the NBT. I will upload a map later. Extra tube highly recommended (just in case).

Like your spirit Katie..I'll do it regardless of weather too. It's going to be 71 so no biggie if it rains. I'll message you all with my cell so you can ping me. so check ur inbox.
We will take Lawrence, to Elston to Central then jot over Lehigh to one of the Devon entrances...shown on this map. Once you come up Central you will see the park on your left. For those who can't make it to the start just meet us at the park entrance..noted on the map. We should be there by 7:35. Katie if you want to save yourself some riding you can just take Damen or Kedzie up to Lawrence and meet there...or I guess Elston too. Just let me know.

I was going off of weather.gov's 48hr graph. I have a hard time getting past weather.com's ridiculous headlines. Anyway, Looks like it's changed a little for the better since this morning. I'll keep an eye on it, but if this is a regular ride, I'll def join in at some point. I've ridden a chunk of this route and it's a good ride.
