Also check out the blackout dates thread in the main forum. They added the Jazzfest at the last minute. Before they had Air & Water show weekend as the last one of 2010 so that's why I didn't check the Metra website. What a bunch of jerks.

Monday night-ish route? Sounds good.

Alex, that's a typo. I just called Metra about it. No blackout dates this weekend. :)

Even with the Metra clear-up, I've still got the Joliet ride for Monday, unless someone really doesn't want it that day (either way, I don't care).

Oh, this is just getting complicated. Is anyone keeping up?

I propose the following two rides for our long weekend:
On Saturday at 8:am, instead of the usual roadie DD (because really, why fight the cabbies for space?!), I propose we meet at the northeast corner of Horner Park, basically 2750 W Irving Park or Irving & California. We’ll go about 30 – 40 miles at about 18-22mph

On Monday, let’s do Alex’s ride to Joliet & train home, departing at 8:30 from a location he determines. That’s about 70 miles and he’ll set the pace.

Should we put either or both of these on the calendar so other folks can join in?

Ryan, do you have a garmin of Monday night's ride?
Or is anyone confident they know the route?

Jen,

I have the cue sheet in my ZYM jersey at home. My Garmin came on Monday (woo hoo!), so I'll look into putting the Monday night route into it.
