If you recall, I needed to cancel my 11th Annual Greater Chicagoland Spring Classic and Vintage ride due to an injury. I had my surgery the end of July and got back on the bike 3 weeks later after a long time off. I'm up to 75 minutes of riding before I'm wiped. I figure by October 14, I’ll be able to do the 2.5 hours it will take me to ploot the course. The link to the route below is pretty darn close for those who like to download that stuff.
Pretty much the same as the spring ride, except I thought it would be fun to go in the opposite direction. This requires a new starting point at the McHenry County College northwest parking lot, please note the link below. Fish tacos still at (near) the end of the ride.

WHAT: Open invitation to a ride for anyone who reads this post, and their friends. Riding your vintage bike is highly encouraged but all bikes and riders are welcome. This is a no drop ride but there is no SAG support.

WHEN: Saturday October 14, 2017. Meet at 8:30, start ride at 9:00 am.

WHERE: McHenry County College Northwest Parking Lot - https://goo.gl/maps/Cd58x1dDX522

FORMAT: A nice leisurely 40-mile ride, flat as a pancake, fish tacos at the end of the ride. This is the route. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/24902611 I will have a print out of the map and cue sheet at the start of the ride.
No-Drop rule, B-group speed.

Only moral support is provided. You must provide your own fluid/food for the ride. There is a stop at a quiky mart at the halfway point for food and drink.

WHY: This is meant as a social ride. It is an opportunity for vintage enthusiasts, friends and acquaintances to get together and meet, and ride together in a group. And eat some great tacos, or torta, or burrito or whatever floats your boat. Here are 2016 pictures - https://www.flickr.com/photos/681231...57667493061665

Feel free to bring other riders as well, but remember this is not an “organized event”. This is simply a large group ride.

Please spread the word to anyone else you think might be interested.
