I have some friends who are interested in riding the northwest trail out up to the Botanic Gardens in Northbrook. No set date yet, but I think it's gonna be a blast. You'd definitely be invited to join us. We're slow too so its all good.</p>
<p>Maybe we can have someone bring a boombox and keep "Slowride" by Foghat on repeat for the appreciation of other pedestrians! </p>

<p>How about a ride with multiple distances that starts and ends at a brewery, where people will be partying a bit after riding? </p>
<p>I am partial to this ride, being on the Executive Committee, but I am being 100% honest in saying we put on a GREAT event - the ADA's Tour de Cure Chicagoland.</p>

<p>Take a look, and if you want to join a team, consider mine, Team Joe Nedza!!!…</p>

Lisa, budget your chores, get some extra shuteye the night before the ride and drink a small bottle of 5 hour energy drink 1/2 hour before the start of the ride. My 81 year old mom is an invalid with Parkinsons disease and memory loss and my 89 year old father needs lots of help but come Memorial Day my sister and her husband will return from their winter home in Florida to spend the summer in their summer home in Park Ridge and this will free me up to do S24O's.
