seems like a go. i made another route on the bikey route page. pretty much the same as the one i came up with on howards map. and an email i got from Willow...the shady part is from 63ed to the park where u pretty much have to ride on Harlem. its not far tho and just a bit of a hill from what i remember.

link to new route from Whole Foods in the South Loop. Canal and roosevelt.

like i said i have to work. but the earlier i go in the earlier i get out..since im just a jerk ass cook i think i can get out by 5. should give us time to shake hands or what ever...plus if u need anything..supplies or food. there is a Kozi bike shop 3 blocks away on des plains and whole foods has your food and beer if u want any. remember i get 20% off.

ive takent that cbf colors route down(IIRC) archer >Narragansett>63rd>harlem before and it wasnt so bad. granted, it was after a critical mass - so therefore, at night. harlem is kinda sucky because its busy, but it is multi-laned, so they can go round you..

good luck, have fun!
