Let this be a lesson to you boys and girls......
You can have the cool big LED headlight with cloth insulated wire
the big speedo
The right color blue paint
homemade silver tape graphic
and a cool boardtrack look.......
all for SNOT! :shock:
if your rear hub locks up on a group ride and sends everyone home :roll:
and your wife picks you and your bike up in the Minivan :roll: :?

Had a blast, Really was great to met everyone in person ! Thanks again to everyone that was in attendance. a great part of the city to ride in too. I learned a lot from you guys, about bikes when we were just hanging out at the Twisted Spoke, and the other joint. I dug rolling down Milwaukee ave in the Bike lane.

Steve,
The weather forecast called for sunny and 62 degrees. That would have been perfect......neither one happened :|
Temp never got more then 55 degrees with a strong north wind blowing off lake Michigan.
very cool the closer to downtown we got
but we all still had a blast!
Thanks Skip
 
Re: Chicago Monthly Ride ~@~Ride Pics Posted~@~

Looks like a good time. We were planning on coming up that way and riding the lake front in a couple weeks. I was afraid we might have waited a little too late in the year. This confirmed it. I like the cool weather but my riding partner not so much. We'll try to time it when it's a little warmer.
