Ride cancelled. Roads are too slippery.
We're going to make a run up to Bluffington's for hot chocolate on Saturday (and/or Eggs Bluffington). Bundle up, because it is supposed to be a chilly day (high of 40 degrees), but given the unpredictable weather in Chicago, this may be as good as it gets for weekend bike riding during the remainder of 2011. The ride will leave from Panera Bread in Wilmette shortly after 8:00 am and should be around a 50 mile round trip at a pace of about 20 mph.
11/30/11 Update - Bluffington's is going to provide a free hot drink to everyone in the group Whoo-hoo
Bluffington's is going to provide some sort of special deal to our group, details to follow. Also, there is some sort of holiday fair in Lake Bluff on the 3rd that we can take in if the spirit so moves the group.
If the weather is not good for riding a cancellation will be posted by 07:00 AM on the day of the ride to this site.
Sunday's ride will be a Show & Go ride, but we may consider heading to Rooster's in Bloomingdale. The highlight of this route is viewing the elk while riding through Busse Woods It's about a 60 mile ride if we don't make any wrong turns (it's been about 3 years since I last made the ride, and the odds are fairly good that if I lead the read, I'll make at least one wrong turn). However, this is just a possible option, and if the members of the group are time constrained, we can follow our usual winter route of Panera to Panera.
