18-20 mph in the south loop? You might have an issue with stoplights and people:)

OK - one option:

This Saturday, around 7 AM?, meet at the Burnham Harbor circle (Waldron at Museum Campus Drive) - Please find link to possible route below:

I am open to alternates.  Please let me know if the link does not work.

7AM on a Saturday? I would do 9, or even 8AM, but 7 on a weekend? That's going to be tough for some of us (me in particular) :-D

Just to add to the herd of cats, I'll say that Saturday mornings are tough for me due to prior training commitments. 

The route you planned actually works well for the start time you have in mind.  If you take that route with a start time later than 8 on a Saturday, it will be tricky to maintain speed, particularly on the return.  Foot / tourtist traffic gets tricky on the LFP on weekends.

Is anyone able to confirm for Saturday? The following needs to be decided:

Date:  Saturday

Time: 8:00 AM (? - Flexible)

Meeting Place:  E Waldron/Museum Campus DR/Lake path (? Flexible)

Route:  (? Flexible)

Thank you!
