Chicago to Green Bay is now confirmed for next May. It would help if you rode a folding bike in anticipation of the return trip.

Anyone interested in a trip to IN Dunes the weekend of July 24/25/26th? My friend and I were thinking of doing it in conjunction with a trip to Whiting, IN for Perogifest--haven't decided if we should just do a day trip or camp overnight.

Its running 700c wheels with concave touring rims and Campagnola record hubs. Also has a freshly broken-in brooks leather saddle. Comes with a bike computer, 2 handlebar bags (one waterproof, storage, one for maps) And i'll throw in supplies as well: Allen wrench, Frame pump, 3 water bottles, tent, water filter, camp stove (and fuel), sleeping bag, two tarps and a set of cross-country touring maps that are worth 100 dollars themselves.

I'd be interested in doing a short tour on 4th of July weekend. Last fall I was thinking of doing a short circle tour from Chicago to McHenry via Metra, taking the GIT west and camping at Rock Cut State Park. 2nd day biking west along the GIT and camping at Apple Canyon State Park. 3rd day heading north and camping at Governor Dodge State Park. Final day heading back east towards Madison via the Military Ridge Trail and then taking the Greyhound back to Chicago. Needless to say I didn't do that ride, but have thinking about getting it done this year as I have more time to waste.

Anyone want to do a Fourth of July weekend tour? I'm going to have a four day weekend. If you can't go, do you have any suggestions for me on destination?

Just back from my first real tour. Chicago to Ann Arbor to Grand Rapids to Muskegon to Milwaukee (by ferry) to Chicago. It was great!
