Barrington Hills Remote Start Saturday 9/21/2013

We will start at 8 AM SHARP from Ryerson Woods, 21850 N. Riverwoods Rd., Deerfield  IL  60015.  

Take the Edens Spur to Deerfield Rd., West to Sanders/Riverwoods Rd.  Turn right, and keep left at the fork to go North on Riverwoods Rd. for about 2 miles to the preserve entrance, on the west side of the street.

If you need a ride to the start point or if you have room for another rider/bike let me know and we can try to organize a carpool.

Labor Day Ride

Tomorrow Monday 9/2/2013 we are going to do a remote start ride in Wisconsin just north of the Illinois border.

We are going to start the ride from:

Bristol Woods County Park
Take I-94 North. A few miles past the Wisconsin border, take Exit #347 Hwy 165/Cty Q. 
Turn left (west) at the end of the exit ramp and go west 2.5 miles on Cty Q. 
Turn right (north) at Cty MB and go 0.8 miles. 
Turn left into the park entrance. Park at the Pringle Nature Center - follow the park road about 1/4 mile past the picnic shelter at the top of the hill.

The ride will start at 08:15 AM. Plan for about an hour drive to the start location. Few of us will meet at Panera Bread in Wilmette at 07:00 AM and will travel together, maybe carpool, depending on who comes with what car.

If you are planning to join us, let me know if you are coming to Panera first or going straight to Wisconsin.

The ride will go to the town of Lyons and back (around 70 mile total). There will be a food stop somewhere in the middle of the ride, but just in case everything is closed for the holiday bring enough pocket food.
