Author Message   Fly Posted on Friday, October 14, 2005 - 10:24 pm:        OK, I'm game for a Saturday morning ride. We can check out the route for next weekend's run to Starved Rock. (Kirk, have I convinced you to ride on down here to the SW burbs). Actually, I'll ride anywhere because the weather is perfect. Sheridan Road (north), Kettle Moraine (even further north), RT 30 along Fox River, or south by me (lots of nice roads). Call my mobile 708 373-5445 at any time 24 X 7 if you want to establish somewhere to meet. But I'll be out riding somewhere come early Saturday morning.   Mxer83 Posted on Sunday, October 16, 2005 - 10:21 am:        reservations have been made for starved rock at 1;30, [they were pretty booked] check back for more details.   Max Posted on Sunday, October 16, 2005 - 12:55 pm:        Hello Gents Back from HAWAII. What I missed????   Mxer83 Posted on Monday, October 17, 2005 - 03:54 pm:        due to a change of my hours at workI will not be able to be srcretary next year. My hours have changed and I have been using my comp. and vacation time to attend meetings. So I guess we will have a fresh start all the way accross the board for next year, so come on guys and step up to the plate!, thanks, Greg   Fly Posted on Monday, October 17, 2005 - 04:01 pm:        Max, Compared to Hawaii, you didn't miss a thing....... Welcome back to the real world. :-)   Paladin Posted on Monday, October 17, 2005 - 05:41 pm:        I borrowed this but it ipretty cool. Enter you zip code and you can be on our BRAG map. That way you can see who you live by. Go here and do it. http://www.risingconcepts.com/frapper/windycitybrag   Fly Posted on Monday, October 17, 2005 - 06:17 pm:        Frapper doesn't recognize my zip code :-(   Wrong36 Posted on Monday, October 17, 2005 - 06:46 pm:        it'll find you... you just have to put in a "shoutout". silly, but that's the way it's set-up. cool use of google-maps.   Johnnyvince Posted on Monday, October 17, 2005 - 08:33 pm:        Hey All- I won't be going on the chapter brunch ride this Sunday, this weekend I'll be mountain biking in Moab, Utah. Came across a $160 round trip flight that I couldn't pass up.   Paladin Posted on Monday, October 17, 2005 - 08:43 pm:        Curt according to USPS Homer Glen has 2 zips http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/zcl_1_results.jsp It took the 441 zip at frapper Kirk   Lastcyclone Posted on Monday, October 17, 2005 - 09:15 pm:        Pretty cool Kirk. I'm on w/photo. Really need to get everone else on that too. Ad e-mail adresses and phone #. Hawaii, Moab, I need a vacation. See you Sunday.   Max Posted on Monday, October 17, 2005 - 10:52 pm:        Kirk you call me last week???   Fly Posted on Tuesday, October 18, 2005 - 06:24 am:        Max, It was I, Curt, that called you last week. Just wanted to know if you were interested in sharing half of my 2 mill lotto winnings, but you evidently had better things to do in Hawaii. Oh well, maybe next time. Seriously though.....I could not read the email address you wrote down at the October chapter meeting, and was looking for you to clarify. Also, the chapter list has a place for only one telephone number, so do you want your home or mobile number to go on the list?   Fly Posted on Tuesday, October 18, 2005 - 06:44 am:        OK, Here's the scoop for this Sunday's chapter brunch run to Starved Rock. Please post here if you will attend, and where you plan to meet, so that everyone has a better idea of what to expect. ---------------------- When: Sunday, 23 October 2005 Meeting Place #1: IL-HD/Buell parking lot. Depart at 8:30am and ride to meeting place #2 Meeting Place #2: GAS CITY located on west side of Lemont Road, about 1/2 mile south of I-55. Can't miss it. Depart to Starved Rock around 9:00am Depart GAS CITY around 9:00am We'll take more entertaining back roads to Starved Rock. Estimated ride time 2.75 hours. Reservations at 1:30pm (that's all they had available). I'm quite sure we can be seated earlier if we arrive with a smaller group. So again, please post here if you plan to attend so that everyone knows what to expect. I'm going and will meet at GAS City on Lemont Road.   Bomber Posted on Tuesday, October 18, 2005 - 05:06 pm:        meteroilogically dependant aye for me! Gas City on Lemont Road -- izzer a get off for lemont on 55?   Lastcyclone Posted on Tuesday, October 18, 2005 - 05:36 pm:        Yes John, Exit south approx. one mile on your right at 103rd St. Can't miss it. gas city map.est (16.4 k)   Max Posted on Tuesday, October 18, 2005 - 10:28 pm:        Curt you had the email right and you can use any those numbers is fine.   Bomber Posted on Wednesday, October 19, 2005 - 11:12 am:        last -- thanks, sir!   Paladin Posted on Wednesday, October 19, 2005 - 12:33 pm:        Please enter yourself http://www.risingconcepts.com/frapper/windycitybrag   Fly Posted on Thursday, October 20, 2005 - 01:47 pm:        Weekend forecast doesn't look so wonderful for ride out to Starved Rock Brunch Run on Sunday. Of course, things may change, hopefully for the better. What is the general consensus regarding riding if it is wet? I could go either way, although wet roads would certainly suck. Post your opinion here soon please. As a note, I am not aware of anyone who has positively committed to the Sunday brunch run this weekend based on current conditions. So please, post your opinion here ASAP so that we can decide if it will happen or not. Again, I could take it or leave it if it's raining, but I'm not willing to ride out there alone!   Mxer83 Posted on Thursday, October 20, 2005 - 02:29 pm:        Fly, lets all try and go since this may be our last time out on bikes. If its really bad we can cancel   Bomber Posted on Thursday, October 20, 2005 - 02:47 pm:        I don't mind rain, I don't mind 50 degrees, but 50 degrees AND rain don't sound like much fun to me--   Lastcyclone Posted on Thursday, October 20, 2005 - 03:25 pm:        I'm in without rain. I'm good down to about 40 degrees temp. Check the forcast on Sat. afternoon. What route takes 2.75 hrs. Curt? I'm curious.   Fly Posted on Thursday, October 20, 2005 - 04:00 pm:        Paul, My back road route will take approximately 2.75 hours. This includes a reasonable allowance for late-shows, gas stops, slight changes in route, slower travel (rain) and waiting for the occasional rider that ventures off the road mid-corner. It also accounts for possible road construction around Starved Rock, as we may need to find our way in the back way (route 176) if the fun way (route 71) is still closed due to construction.   Paladin Posted on Thursday, October 20, 2005 - 06:28 pm:        50 I should be in Rain I'm out. How about we put a final call Sat 9 pm Just an Idea.   Max Posted on Thursday, October 20, 2005 - 09:50 pm:        Well since I was sick about 3 day to my vacation and still trying lost this nasty cold or flu.I may not go on the ride and put the bike away for winter unfortunely.I'm still not at 100% and hate to have relapse...If not there you guys ride safe and watch the leaves.   Vwolf Posted on Thursday, October 20, 2005 - 11:08 pm:        Kirk thanks for the link on locations for Buell riders..   Vwolf Posted on Thursday, October 20, 2005 - 11:13 pm:        Can anyone one remember the first ride to the rock(Heavy Rain!) and a good time...I cant promise (warn) to show but I may miss morning church for this one george   Frankusm2 Posted on Friday, October 21, 2005 - 08:37 am:        I think Paladin is right. Let's see what the weather looks like late Saturday.   Bomber Posted on Friday, October 21, 2005 - 09:06 am:        I remember that ride! boots squished for weeks!
