Looks like I should be able to make it. What is the meeting spot going to be? It looks like Bennett Park has parking available.

I don't have anything super exotic to bring, but my SLT has been wanting to get out on the road for a while.

For those coming on Saturday. I'll have donuts here in the AM. I don't do coffee so you are on your own there. I will also have a good lunch in the bike cave as well.

Thanks

John

Trek 610


Trek touring triplets


Miyata LT


Trek 620
I RSVP’d in a PM but I’ll officially be going tomorrow.

Not sure which bike, but I’m thinking my ‘84 Trek 610. Catalog says it’s for training, group rides, and light touring so this sounds like that!

I'm bringing my 78 Superior and my unidentified British bike from the early 50s. I haven't decided which one I'll be riding yet. John's got some really nice Schwinns so I thought he might appreciate the last of the fillet brazed Schwinn Superiors.

Wow, we are up to 12 riders!

If you have more bicycles that you would like to show off we have a secured garage to keep the other bikes in while we ride!

Parking will be in my subdivision. My subdivision is One large circle. ONLY park on the OUTSIDE of the circle.

Those that RSVP'd have my phone number. Feel free to call.

Thanks

JJ

Today was fun. Thanks so much for being a great host @jjhabbs. Your stunning collection rivals only your hospitality!

And also thanks for helping out when my rear wheel decided to de-tension itself 15 minutes in to the ride

I didn't take any pictures, but I saw a lot of them being taken so I'm looking forward to some being posted here.

Also so great to meet so many wonderful people today. You all were a pleasure to hang out with and nerd out over some really cool bikes!

What a great day! Thanks for hosting, John, and instigating, Steve W. It was wonderful riding and hanging with you all. The @jjhabbs museum provided an ideal venue. I look forward to our next Chicagoland CV event.

Talking bikes after the ride:

You know how you go to a party and everyone is talking about stupid stuff that has nothing to do with bikes? Well today was so much fun. None of that stupid stuff. Bike geeks talking about bikes without any of the eye rolling or blank stares from anyone in the room. It was great!

Thank you John for being so awesome. Everything went great.

Thanks to all who showed up today. You are all really fun to hang with. I really had a great time.
