Greetings All semi Intrepid riders,
Given the relatively recent unfolding of events, I'm feeling the need to visit this historic monument- to consider "lessons learned."
The weather looks mostly suitable with mild wind, temps in upper 50s, and partly cloudy vs partly sunny skies so please dress accordingly!
I have made reservations at the restaurant for our usual get together.
Distance around 34 miles RT, and expect return to Evanston around 2:30ish.
Please let me know if you plan to attend.
Check out the links below especially the YouTube video.
The weather forecast shows at this time, at 24% chance or rain or thunderstorm, so please check this space for any adjustments.
