Thinking of starting a riders group in Chicago 'burbs

Folks -- not to get back on topic, but am curious whether a group ever formed from this original post. Do we have a western suburbs riding group?

Thanks.

Kind of a clearinghouse for get togethers. We meet when we can and ride or whatever. All are welcome.

But I could start earlier in the morning!

The guys over on ADV gave me some other things to look at to explain that left cylinder rattle -

Anyone riding this Sunday???

I can get out later in the morning. I am dropping off my parents at the airport early am but I would love to ride... anywhere. Up for a later start?

Unfortunately because of the airport drop off, I can't ride with Wezul and Steve

I need to start logging some serious weekend miles - I leave for Alaska in less than 6 weeks!

Open to a ride tomorrow - would be happy to accomodate Kurt's later start time - aiming at 200 miles +.

I can do Sat ride in the am anytime as long as I can be back early afternoon - I can break away from the group about 1pm.

I am doing Easter with the parents Sat because they are leaving on Sunday. Any heathens want to ride Sunday?

Curt - totally understand the AM ride thing, but I do need to leverage Martin's off road route to get some practical gravel experience!

11:30 kickstands up at Da Moon - Marcin - you're on!

I'll stay out of anything that resembles messy riding. Gravel only folks as I learn to handle this thing on messy surfaces.
