Chicagoland Beer Exploration Society
Information
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.
Up-to-date map (with a list, postal- and web-addresses and phone numbers, where available). Five hundred thirty (530!) so far.

- average mph 16.9 (last leg: 22.23 mi. in 1h19m)

Sixth Step Rain or Shine Divvy-Friendly Ride (rescheduled) this sun., starting from Intelligentsia Broadway at 9!

of course those not interested in a divvy-e adventure and not babying their own bikes would be free to ride them :-)
regular divvys don't come with locks, so we'd need to bring our own for 18th st.

ok, learned a couple things today!
- the colors on the divvy map are for the 2 divv-e fee zones (together, their "service area")
- if we end (or start) a divv-e ride in the outer gray zone we get free minutes and they waive their usual "out-of-station parking fee"
- if we park a divv-e outside their service area, for example over the state line, they dock us $25
so, divv-e as far southeast as we can, divvy to 18th st. and FFF and back to their service area, then divv-e home?

otoh rain when it's 82 is a lot different than rain when it's 42. partly i just got my bike washed and don't want it to get wet. :-)
divv-e? right now there are 8 at E 134th St & S Avenue O, and 3 of them have an estimated range of 16 miles. alas, from there it's 10 miles to FFF. hmm, plain old-fashioned divvy?
