Description

No, this isn't about making a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

It's about riding to the sixth-best brewery in the world, and boosting our cognitive function and inhibiting peptide fibrillation and neurotoxicity, every month this year! There's a somewhat consistent schedule -- usually the 4th Saturday of the month -- and you can qualify for the F-12 Award.

We meet between 9:30 and 10 at Intelligentsia Broadway to warm up and caffeinate. We then take Barry east and the lakefront trail south. Feel free to join up anywhere along the trail. Just let us know where so we can look for you.

Three Floyds is unfortunately still pickup-only. Lunch is at 18th Street on the way back.

42 miles total if to return you ride back to Hammond and take the South Shore Line, 45 if you ride to Flossmoor Station and take the Metra, 50 if you ride to 93rd and take the Metra or to 100th and take the J14, 55 if you ride to 71st and take the J14, 70 if you ride all the way. 16-19 mph. Bring money, government-issued ID, a lock, water and snacks to have en route, and panniers for beer you can't get in Chicago.

Chicago's covid risk level has returned to Low. Stay up to date with vaccines. Get tested if you have symptoms. If you test positive, follow all isolation guidance, including wearing a mask. If you are at high risk for severe illness, talk to your healthcare provider about whether you need to wear a mask and take other precautions.

Online resources: Google map, cue sheet, South Shore Line schedule, Metra Electric train schedule, Jeffery Jump (J14) bus schedule, Bikes on the South Shore Line, Bikes on the Metra, Bikes on the Bus, and, to save a minute at the start, the nifty online CCC waiver.

PS: I give these rides these names because I find them humorous in an ironic way. It's not my intent to make light of addictions, efforts to recover from addictions, or 12-step peer support groups like AA. If you're trying to drink in moderation, we'll support you. If you're trying to abstain, you may want to give this ride a pass.
