Rides for Thursday 5/3, Saturday 5/5 and Sunday 5/6/2012

On Thursday 5/3/2012 we are going to join the Higher Gear Bicycle Store in Wilmette ride. It starts at 17:30 SHARP from their store in Plaza del Lago. The ride goes to Fort Sheridan and back with no stops. The pace is fast - the average speed with all stop signs and traffic lights is over 20 mph. There are sprints at well over 30 mph. There is plenty of free parking in front of the store if you come driving.

On Saturday 5/5/2012 we will ride to the end of Cuba Road. The ride starts from Panera Bread in Wilmette at 07:00 AM. The total distance is going to be around 65-70 miles. There will be no food stop during the ride, so bring snacks to eat on the bike. We will make a quick bathroom break somewhere during the ride. We will stop for food at the end of the ride at Panera Bread in Wilmette.

On Sunday 5/6/2012 we will do the usual ride on St. Mary Road with a loop around the cemetery. The ride starts from Panera Bread in Wilmette at 08:00 AM. The total distance will be around 50-55 miles. There will be no food stop during the ride, so bring snacks to eat on the bike. We will make a quick bathroom break somewhere during the ride. We will stop for food at the end of the ride at Panera Bread in Wilmette.

If the weather is bad I will post a cancellation on the listserve no later than an hour before the start time.

  1. I you have any interest in the North Route again, I mapped the common route that clubs take, I added your typical route to Lake Forest from Wilmette. You can supposedly export this map to your Garmin and get Google cue sheets.
