Description

Imagine a quieter time, a time when just a short distance outside the city tranquility could be found. Join us, Sunday, June 10, 2012, noon'ish to experience an afternoon of country gentility at Mayslake Hall in Oak Brook, Illinois.
The ride will take in some of the lovely paths and roads around Fullersburg Woods, Graue Mill and a stop at York Tavern to raise a pint or two. Come and bring whatever era bike that you prefer to ride. There is no age or country of origin requirement. Arrive early and picnic on the grounds at the hall. Please bear in mind that on Dupage County Forest Preserve land alcoholic beverages are prohibited without exception.
The ride will last approximately three hours and return to Mayslake Hall for afternoon tea at 4:00 PM. To cap off the afternoon the raffle drawing will be held for the Ace of Clubs bike. All proceeds from ticket sales go directly to Working Bikes Cooperative, Chicago.

Looks like cold beer will be necessary.

Comment by globalguy on May 22, 2012 at 8:15am: Many congratulations to the survivors of this weekend's Lake Pepin 3 Speed Tour! BBC delegates faced 30 MPH headwinds on Friday, murderous inclines on Saturday, and pissin'-down rains on Sunday. Others were cruelly cut down by the Norovirus making this the BBC's 1st Annual Puke-n-Pedal!

But not all experiences were disasterous as one of our company (who's initials are Alan Lloyd) met a fetching candidate for Bike Wife and Jeannette, the even more fetching companion of Ed Skelly, provided numerous and helpful extractions as our most felicitous and comely Sag-Wagoneer! Many, many, many thanks!!!!!

Now let us turn our attention towards and warm our expectations to the (hopefully) less windy, arduous, and plague-ridden Manor & Meadow Tour on 10 June 2012!!!!

good wishes
