Active Trans still needs some volunteers for rest stops on the Four Star Bike Tour this Sunday (26 August), especially in the western suburbs.  Apparently a group which had volunteered to cover the Graue Mill rest stop (in Oak Brook) has backed out.  If anyone can make it out there early Sunday morning, I'm sure that Active Trans and the riders would appreciate it.  The shift runs from 7:15 to 11:00.  Volunteer registration is at http://fourstarbiketour.org/volunteer, or e-mail Jason Jenkins (jason@activetrans.org).

I'm heading out from Harlem & Washington in Oak Park at about 5:45 AM for a leisurely ride through the suburban wonderland, to the Salt Creek trailhead at 22nd and Mannheim, thence along the trail westward to Graue Mill.  If you care to ride along, send me a note.
