Rides for the rest of the week

Tomorrow (Thursday 6/13/2013) we are going to do Hill Intervals in the Fort Sheridan area. Let's meet at 18:00 at the parking area next to the big circle drive inside the fort. We will warm up for 20-30 minutes doing laps around the circle and then we will to the long lake access ravine road 10 times. Cool down for 10-15 minutes and we should be done before 19:30. I am planning to drive there. If you are going to ride to the fort, plan for the ride home (it is still daylight until 20:30).

On Saturday 6/15/2013 we are planning to ride around Lake Geneva, WI. Two loops around the lake (46 miles) with some hills. Big Bob will provide a grill for a barbecue after the ride, we just need to bring food to grill, drinks, fruit, etc. If you are planning to join, let me know and I will keep you informed about the travel arrangements. Few wives/significant others are also going to go and meet us after the ride for lunch. My wife will have room for few more in her car.

On Sunday 6/16/2013 we can do the usual St. Mary Loop or Panera to Panera. Let's meet at 08:00 AM at Panera in Wilmette.

Rides for the weekend 6/8 & 6/9/2013

On Saturday let's meet at 7AM Sharp at Panera. The plan is to do 60-80 miles with one stop for water/bathroom and a food stop either in the middle or at the end of the ride. Bring enough food to eat on the bike. The destination is to be decided. Cons is working on several options. I will send an email with the details when ready.

On Sunday if it does not rain you guys can do a show and go at 07:00 AM from Panera, or somebody can volunteer and post a specific ride.
