PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE IN ITINERARY:
Friday Oct. 1st 7:30am: we'll be meeting for breakfast at Lou Mitchell's 565 W. Jackson Blvd.
8:30am departing on the Metra Rock Island line to Joliet from the
LaSalle St. Station at LaSalle and Van Buren Streets, upper level. (NOT
UNION STATION!!)
We will arrive in Joliet at 9:51am and ride 70 miles along the scenic
and historic Illinois & Michigan Canal Trail arriving at Starved
Rock State Park in the late afternoon.
We will camp at the park campground 2 nights.
Wandering, hiking and dallying on Saturday.
Brunch Sunday morning (excellent).
Departing around noon on Sunday, riding 70 miles to Joliet and the 7:45pm Chicago bound train. (Backup train 9:45pm.)
Feel free to make your own travel arrangements, but please do RSVP. We
will be riding at a moderate pace of 12mph. Each rider should be self
supported, no SAG wagon present. Bring warm clothes.
Please rsvp on the event page of the calender.
If you've never been, the park is quite pretty, especially this time of
year. Also, the 70 miles from Joliet to Utica (the park) is on the
Illinois & Michigan Canal Tow Path, a continuous, entirely off
street, crushed limestone trail with many historic sites.
Hope to see you there!

Only way I can do this is to go old school and ride all the way on Friday. Maybe have M and M join us that night with a petrol assist. Hmmmm. . . .
