The Chicago TailDraggers are a loosely organized bicycle club, we get together once a month to enjoy bikes, eating, and riding.
This year was our 4th year of "organized rides"
January,
We all met and Gary's house and rode up the Fox River in Geneva IL.
February.... We Started with lunch at Revolution Brewery...Then a little ride. To a cool bike shop... Then to Bang Bang Pie!
Cold day but coffee and pie helps!
The March Ride got pushed back to the first week in April....see loosely organized
It turned out to be such a nice day we got to sit on the roof of Twisted Spoke!
Finished the ride with some coffee.
July,
Got pushed to August
August... We did a test ride for Slyred and the BBC British Bicycles of Chicago.
We rode from Gary's house in Geneva down the Fox River Path all the way to Two Brothers Roundhouse. (awesome lunch)
a total of 25 miles round trip.
Garret rode all 25 miles!
Slyred's Super Cool Hot Rod!
September....
The Manor & Meadow Tour II
With the British Bicycles of Chicago
Had a great day!
October we met at The Rail. Then took a little ride up the North Branch of the Chicago River.
November,
Great Turnout! Great ride in oak Park! we started at Bernard's Schwinn (Cool Place!)
It was so great to have so many bikes on the ride!
Perfect day!
December...
Our first night ride in years, And we had a great turnout again... and it was 18 degrees out!!!!! Big Thanks to Chips_Mahoy, for the Zoo lights idea!
Started at Bricks Pizza.
Then rode to the Zoo Lights
Carl got some great pics!
After the Zoo, we rode down the lake for a couple miles to get some Skyline shots.
Then to Starbucks to warm up and end a great night!
Thanks to everyone who ever came out in 2013!
