Sorry you guys can't make it.... Hope to see you next month.

Tomorrow's weather looks OK, 3 or 4 inches of snow in the city right now.
Roads clear might be slushy tomorrow.... A bike with fenders would be a good idea.

Thanks, Skip

The only thing for sure is a ride in September with the British Bicycle club.

Also looking to have a show at Heritage Bicycle early summer.

Would love to go to the Pontiac Show and swap.
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=55612&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=pontiac&start=30
Which I think would be cool if we could organized a Saturday night ride
Before the show if guys were interested in doing it.

Also just tell me what Saturday or Sunday works for you to come up to
Chicago. And we can plan to have a ride then.

I'll look at the calendar and will see what I can do. I'm trying to get the PackRats done as soon as possible so I can get up there again soon. I'll also look to see if I can make the Pontiac show. I've got a friend from Pontiac but I'll have to see if he'll be there that weekend or not.
