Ok so I thought it might be a nice idea to have a Chicago area meet up sometime before the season ends. I PM'd a bunch of people from the area (and a couple who aren't, lol) and it looks like there are at least 5 people up for it
So let's start a thread.
Here's the synopsis so far.....
Me - I'm on the North Shore, but I reckon I can throw my bike in the car to meet up wherever suits people. I'm also pretty flexible for dates. I have a range of about 30+ miles.
V_Mark is up for it - he is on the North side near Fullerton and has a range of 20-25 miles...
Warren (recumbents.com) is up for it as well, but his next two weekends are busy so it would be the 24th or later. (24th sounds good to me) I guess he'll be driving in as well.
Don (drutledge) needs to stay close to home because his cargo bike and cupcake (!) are not easy to transport. He might bring a friend as well. His range is about 10-15 miles.
Lester12483 (Chicago Electric Bikes) says he can do Saturdays before 11am for a ride....he suggested downtown somewhere...
So......If Mark, Don and Lester are all gonna be arriving by bike, then maybe somewhere in the middle of them is a good idea - Logan Square, Humboldt Park, etc....decent coffee shops, and not too bad for parking for Warren and I...
Open to other suggestions of course...
Anyone else wants to join then the more the merrier
