Great Lakes - Halloween Afternoon Ride

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
The weather looks great for tomorrow and I plan to ride 50 or 60 miles along the Fox River. Starting in Elgin, and riding to McHenry and back.
If anyone is interested let me know.

Love to but T&T'ing with the kiddies. :)
What time are you thinking? I may possibly be able to catch you from Algonquin --> McHenry --> Algonquin.

Might be interested. What time were you thinking? I might be able to sneak away from business....
scrap that. 3 appointments just popped up. I'm probably out (unless you're late enough that I can catch you from Algonquin back to Elgin and then solo my way back to Algonquin... or unless you go late afternoon/early evening).
I plan to leave Elgin around 11:30-12:00

Hmmmm....thinking.....
When would we be done?.....
40-50 miles.....by 3 or 4ish??
If we are rolling by noon, being back by 3:30 or 4:00 works for me.

I think I'm in...about 98% sure. Want to meet here (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=tyler+creek+forest+preserve,+elgin,+il&sll=42.044131,-88.317691&sspn=0.009465,0.022659&g=tyler+creek+forest+preserve,+elgin,+il&ie=UTF8&ll=42.064093,-88.297162&spn=0.009462,0.022659&t=h&z=16&iwloc=addr)?

I usually park right down the street from Judson College. There is a Baptist Church parking lot that backs right up against the trail. It is pretty safe because it is right out in the open. Tyler Creek during the week is pretty deserted.

Yeah, I know the place. That's fine with me. Noon. I'll be leaving from Aurora at 11. I should be there in time to roll at noon. Need to be back for Halloween activities at home. I have a little "Curious George" monkey who will be expecting me.
Going North or South?
I'll be there a bit before, and be ready to roll at noon :speedy:

OK, you got me. Hate is such a strong word. Despise is probably a better descriptor. Loathe comes to mind too.
