Chicagoland Beer Exploration Society

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.

right, would you like to join me? anybody else?

Comment by bobweiser on September 20, 2019 at 10:47am

looking at the route, thinking about riding back, too. 27.6 out + 22 to More + 21 back = 70.6 total.

i see now:

Variable clouds with scattered thunderstorms. High 79F. Winds SSW at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of rain 60%.

for me, probably it'll come down to whether it's raining when it's time to leave. rain on the way when it's 76 °F wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. since Roselare doesn't open until noon, i could leave as late as 10:08. big SSW wind, hmm.

leaving later + starting closer = might ride out to meet you again, weather permitting. depart 9:31 to ride 26.3 @ 14.8 = 1:47 arrive 11:18.

independent of sat., fri. looks good, can anybody else get away then?

Bob are you there?

I’m leaving now ...

Comment by bobweiser on September 6, 2019 at 5:49am

let's see, 8:40 arrives geneva 9:47. 41.1 miles by bike = 3 h 46 m says google. actually maybe more like 2 h 52 m? which would mean leaving 6:54. sunrise 6:21. wind 5 mph WNW. hmm, anybody else?

66.1 miles total. add another half to make it 66.6?
