Hi, folks:

New to chainlink, a friend sent me a link to this group. I live out West in the Fox Valley and do extensive bike route maps for ride groups and organized events, including The Swedish Days Ride, The Sub-5 Century Challenge and new this year, The Wounded Warriors Soldier Ride.

Does a map about where I like to drink in Chicago count? http://tinyurl.com/rubydrinks

Could y'all please take a look at Critical Mass Aug.28 route dev thread, page 2 where I've posted draft of "Water Mass" flyer (evolved from "Bubbles"). I'm pretty happy with it, but feedback welcome.

WNBR-C6 donation drop-by and pot-luck social, 1-5pm this Sunday Jun....
Great opportunity to meet and talk about routes for some near-term rides of interest ;)

Plus this Group can be used as a resourse for folks planning all sorts of rides apart from the big CCM one.

Right Todd. General craft topic here, and networking. Working well enough. We made contact, and started the threads above on basics and data exchange. More to come.
The thread on CCM May planning is elsewhere.
