So maybe instead of generically planning our route, let's all throw out some specific things we would like to see on a ride. So far I can think of these possible highlights:
1) late breakfast at a GREASY spoon.
2) the velodrome.
3) Giboyeux's band at 9:30pm at ronnies (logan square)?
4) Hot doug's hotdogs?
5) the loop catacombs (wacker, columbus, etc) preferably late at night.
6) vegetarian/vegan options (last century was about 80% veggie IIRC)
Also, maybe we should save this for an august century, but what about a ride to kenosha? Anyone here who has rode to Madison who could suggest routes that way? It looks to be over 60 miles one way to kenosha, which is why I'd opt not to do it next week.
I was planning more for a consistent ride with out a ton of stopping (ie. hot dougs, vegan options, velodrome).. i like the idea of a full day thing with lots of stuff to do along the way, but I guess I just wanted to do a century and hit some nice 'country' roads and cool areas. I'm all about the breakfast, maybe even the velodrome. Maybe we can plan a full-day multiple stop ride that eventually equals 100 miles, but for this ride I was hoping for a straight up 100 mile ride with 1 lunch break and pee breaks. Is everyone totally against this? Bueller?
