Looking to start a weekly ride...Bikes & Bars...

I'm looking to start a weekly (or bi-weekly depending on the amount of interest...) group ride to 2-3 new bars per week. In the vein of 'New Bar Tuesday' (if you're not familiar...chicagonewbartuesday.blogspot.com/) but spreading things out a bit and making it an evening ride. The idea is we, as a group, would start by throwing out a bunch of bar ideas (new spots, favorites, dives, whatever) and I'll pick out 2 or 3 per week and route a ride starting at a designated start location taking the 'scenic route' to the bars. I have some contacts in the bar/restaurant industry and my hope is if we can get a solid group together, i can get in touch with the establishments ahead of time to set up some sort of deal for us.

all neighborhoods are fair game. while this is primarily supposed to be a 'ride' those without bikes can feel free to join by meeting us at one place or another at a designated time. 

Let's start by seeing who is interested and taking it from there...

either shoot me an email a ckelahan@gmail.com with the subject line 'bikes & bars' or hit me on twitter (@colinmkelah)
