Route from Downtown to Calumet Park

I'm planning on riding down to Calumet Park for the Gaper's Block Crit series.  Does anyone have a good route they use?

Thanks!

Maybe we can try for Thursday, too.

I'm a wuss at night these days, but I'm really trying to stay motivated and put on miles so that long rides in the next few months seem easier.  As of now, my lungs do not appear to be functioning that well.

Looks like I'm out for tonight, forgot about a work meeting.  But I think I'm in for Thursday!

I rode down last night (Mon.). Left a few minutes before 5 p.m. from my office at Michigan/Ontario via Illinois, LFP, S. Burley Ave (past the velodrome). Had a nice tailwind and made it in 45 minutes. Avg. 18-19 mph.

Doing it again today (3/26) and tomorrow (3/27). It's an excellent warmup, and I made it in time for my Cat 5 race.

Feel free to join. I could meet people on the backside of the Shedd at the tunnel. Message me if interested.

I could be at the tunnel behind Shedd at 5:10-5:15. Does that work?

Edit: I could be at the tunnel at 5—little tough for me to bug out much earlier from work. I'll wait around for a few minutes. If no one shows, I'll roll out. I'm in a grey jacket, black Chrome bag, riding a black All-City.

hey, this is terry - we've met a couple times. hpi time trials and empty bottle both come to mind.  jg's friend.  I could meet you at that tunnel on time (or at 18th st), except i'm on a half-baked/half-loaded long haul trucker.  Guess i could try to hang, and I won't feel bad about being dropped.
