Tuesday Moderate Ride – October 5th – 9:00 AM – Panera

 

While poking around in the route library I found this intriguing route to Buffalo Gove made by Jerri Cohen in 2016 -- BuffaloGrove50 - A bike ride in Wilmette, IL (ridewithgps.com)

 

It is described thus: “Start - Panera in Wilmette

Ride north thru Fort Sheridan, then west thru Riverwoods. Stop for lunch at Culver's in Buffalo Grove. Return thru Riverwoods and Northbrook.” Much of it is familiar, some of it combined in ways I’d never thought of, and it uses a few streets in or near Buffalo Grove, that I have never been on. I have not had an opportunity to preview the route. We’ll be checking it out this week. Think of it as a little adventure.

 

Our total distance will be about 50 miles. I’ll ride a moderate 13 to 15 mph. With enough interest and a willing leader we’ll have a second group traveling at a slightly faster pace.

 

The weather forecast is slightly promising – Cloudy with only a slight chance of rain. A high temperature of 68 degrees with the wind from the NE at 10 to 15 mph. If the weather should turn out to be substantially worse making it necessary to cancel the ride, I’ll post an announcement before 8:00 AM on the morning of the ride.
