Information

Chicagoland Beer Exploration Society

Every member of the Society (CBES) should aspire to have a beer at every brewery or brewpub located in a day or two bicycle ride distance from Chicago (and, of course, within the city limits).

Naturally, preferable way of getting to is by bike, as for riding back . . . whatever is available, train, bus, horse and buggy, depending on amount of beverages consumed at the destination.

Routes on Ride with GPS, here.

On Facebook, here.

On Twitter, here.

Lists of breweries and brewpubs (and other beer things): on Facebook, and on Twitter.

See you all at 8am @ LFT and Ardmore.
For those who didn't see the route, I basically up Sheridan-ish to Highland Park-ish and back via NBT-ish.

Ah, fer cryin out loud. I thought I liked Ride With GPS.

Maybe I should get back to good ol' paper maps.

It's public now. I swear!

Comment by daWillinChi on April 14, 2017 at 12:57pm

Frank, the like to the route is not viewable - private

Comment by Duppie on April 14, 2017 at 12:09pm

Why the rush on filing your taxes? You have until Tuesday to file.

I fixed the privacy setting of the route.

Comment by bobweiser on April 14, 2017 at 10:20am

talk @ 1 & taxes, so unfortunately won't work for me. btw: The route you are trying to view is not public.

Comment by Duppie on April 14, 2017 at 8:33am

Any who hasn't visited Alarmist want to try it out tomorrow at opening 11am)? 

I was thinking of doing 40-50 miles beforehand and stopping there on my way home. (Yes, I know the route is backwards)

Leave at 8am at the end of the LFT at Ardmore?

Comment by Duppie on April 11, 2017 at 8:55am
Thanks for coming out guys. Ended up doing 103 miles. Maybe this brevet thing is going to work out after all.
