Chicago western suburbs

Post by tbonestone »

Hey there Modern Buddy-ites of the Chicago Western Suburbs. When the spring finally springs, is there any interest for a weekly ride night? I'm aiming for a non denominational ride night since I have a Honda Helix, I'm on the Totalruckus site, and a friend of mine has a Buddy 125. I might not be the best of organizers since my helix has two bum tires and a hole in the bottom of the motor however it's still january and spring is still a ways off.

If there is interest let me know, I'm in Downers Grove, I frequent establishments in Lisle and Naperville.

I would be interested in a sunrise group ride to Lake Geneva for Amerivespa on Saturday, June 23, 2012.

Definitely something worth considering. I wasn't sure about attending Amerivespa, even for a day trip... But hey, whatever. We've got tons of time between now and then. I sold off my helix, but will be picking up something again when i can scratch more money together.

I am planning to ride up to Geneva early Saturday morning and would definately be willing to head West instead of North if anyone wanted to get together for a group ride up (I am in the city).
