To all who couldn't make it...you really missed out! Thanks again Skip for being such a gracious host! :mrgreen:
 
Re: Chicago Monthly Ride ~ August 21st Ride Pics! ~

We missed it! I wish I would have seen this post a few days earlier. When is the next one? My buddies and I are near Rockford but Harvard has a train to downtown that you can take bikes on for free so if you have another ride we will be there!
 
Re: Chicago Monthly Ride ~ August 21st Ride Pics! ~

This looks like some fun! If you do this after September I will have to come join you! I'm only 45 minutes from Chicago.
