Chicagoland Forum Member Gathering - March

[RiderCoach Lar]

I swear this has been the longest, snowy-est, SALTY-EST winter ever....but it's coming to and end :clapping: and we having some riding to plan. January's "beer & pizza" :drinks: meeting worked out pretty well, so let's do it again....

[SIZE=12pt]Date: [/SIZE]

Saturday, March 22

[SIZE=12pt]Time: [/SIZE]

4:00 PM

[SIZE=12pt]Place: [/SIZE]

Giordano's

455 Roosevelt Rd

Glen Ellyn, IL 60137

630-790-1717

It's less than a mile and a half west of I-355 on Roosevelt Road.

There are several upcoming rides to discuss:

• wheatonFJR's SE Ohio Spring "Ramble"- April 19...SIGNUP CLOSES 2/29/08
  
• Lake Michigan Loop- May 9-11
  
• smitty141's Hooterville 400 / Dusty 200- May 17-18
  
• Starved Rock Brunch Ride- June ?
  
• NAFO- July 24-27
  

....just to name a few. So mark your calendars NOW and post up if you'll be attending so I can give the restaurant a heads-up on the group size. If you haven't been to a Chicagoland Area member's get together yet, or you missed the last one, don't miss this one. Riding season is just a few degrees and a good downpour away. Even if you're calendar sucks as bad as mine and you don't know if you can make any of the planned rides, come out and have a beer with some of the local (and not so local) forum members.

Please note: in an attempt to draw Breadman out of winter hybernation up there in SE WI ooh_lol: , no cameras will be allowed at this event

Thanks Larry for setting it up. It is on the calendar now.

p.s. I think Breadman said it is easier for him to meet us on Sunday's.

 

[wheatonFJR]

I'm in! :clapping:

 

[griff]

Me too. :lol:

 

[artistic rider]

Can't make it. Working slowdown schedule so I will have no life until April.

 

[RiderCoach Lar]

....so I will have no life until April.

If you're kind of a glass-half-full guy, that's just in time to start riding again :yahoo:

Then again, if you're not, it just sucks :angry:

 

[rnees]

I'm in, if I remember!

 

[cougar8000]

I'm in, if I remember!

You want a personal phone call? You got it.

 

[TriggerT]

Looks like I am in for this one. Who knows maybe we will actually be able to ride by then.

 

[Murph]

Count me in.

 

[RiderCoach Lar]

...Who knows maybe we will actually be able to ride by then.

Let's keep our collective fingers crossed. I'd swap a cold beer for a diet Coke in a heartbeat!

Global warming!? .......Bring it on!!!!

 

[Murph]

Arrrrrrrgh! I just realized that I'll be out of town for the holiday that weekend. Maybe next time.

 

[skifrik]

I will try to be there again.

 

[Turvy]

Add me to the count!

 

[Brooklyn]

Count me in as well.

 

[Breadman]

Let's just say I am a maybe for now. I sure would like to see you turkeys again soon. I get finished working around 12 or 1 most Saturdays so it's possible - with spousal blessing, of course.

Kris (that one bread guy)

P.S. If anyone cares, I now have gloves, riding pants, boots, and a jacket. The "spacesuit" is complete!!

 

[RiderCoach Lar]

Spousal blessing!? We don't need no stinkin' spousal blessing! (Man, I hope my wife doesn't see this :huh: )

Heck, bring her along, Kris....and those wacky kids of yours too, if that's what it takes.

 

[Breadman]

Heck, gettin' away from those crazies is a large reason I joined this forum in the first place!

Tell her you have a bread delivery in IL. I will take one.
