Let's have a shorter ride this Friday up to Tala's Coffee in Highwood: meeting at 9 am Chandler and following the usual route up Sheridan (see Rides Calendar GPS posting), including through Fort Sheridan to double back to Talas. Expected mileage about 32; pace 14-15; expected return, by noon. Weather forecast looks fine for Friday, but I will post a cancellation by 7:30 if rain comes in. Julie (773-516-0872).
