Hydrate+chow at D'Ag's, then ride the remainder of the route south to 31st beach, under 12 miles.
South of UIC is most unfamiliar to me, so what I most want to confirm. I've never seen bubbly creek.
Then north past NavyPier home to Foster for me.

I settled on Wednesday for rest between pre and mass and more print time.
7:30pm gives time for 9-5's, and less cars on roads, but not far from actual.
Anyone knowing/riding parts and reporting beforehand saves me work.
PLEASE for safety I don't want to ride this alone.

Chances of rain nightly through weekend, but hey, this ride's about water.
