Just received the CBF snail mail news. The UIC CCC scavenger hunt
is listed for 14 Oct., but, the time given is 6:00 PM. Becki's posting
said 7:00 PM.
Just wondering, which is correct ?
Mettle to the Scavengers

I was soooo looking forward to a night rain ride but as of 2:30pm, I've just accepted an evacuee until Tuesday.
I really don't think he's gonna wanna join us in the rain (yes, as I'm typing this, its pouring now)

It is definitely not just a student function (I am the person who claims to be the CCC vice president). Everybody is welcome. Students may get a few extra points, but here is no need to have a student on a team.
Gareth, we are reducing the number of points that can be earned for take-out menus this year - just for you :)
G. J. Valent asked > Regarding the UIC bicycle scavenger hunt in October. Is that strictly a student function ?
The UIC CircleCycleClub scavenger hunt is a lot of fun. I do it every year and I've never yet been a UIC student. Maybe it is different this year but I'd be surprised. I think there may or may not be a rule that every team must have
UIC students. The teams I scavengerhunted with always had UIC students and we always got 1st or 2nd! Many teams had a mix of UIC students and civilians. Gareth

One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free You'll find a god in every golden cloister And if you're lucky then the god's a she I can feel an angel sliding up to me
Chorus from 'One Night in Bangkok', from the musical Chess.
A musical drama about a world chess championship held in Bangkok, Thailand.
I've been living and working in Central Bangkok for a few weeks now, and I finally went out for a midnight ride. Well, more like 2 a.m.
It was great in some ways (much less smog / traffic), but less than expected in others (still lots of people / vehicles out, many drunken drivers).
I cut the ride short, as I got wigged out after seeing some drunken swerving cars and tuk-tuks. I'm thinking that 5:15 or so might be perfect - the drunks should already be home, and the morning people will not yet be out in force.
While last night's ride was amazing - seeing a different side of the city - it didn't have that deserted feeling you can get while riding in Chicago at 4:15 a.m. on a weekday.
The daytime traffic is insane, and I'll try to get a ride report out about biking all night.

Subject: [bikesonmetra] METRA Screwed Me, Well, not really
By now you've probably all heard about the METRA SURPRISE SUNDAY BICYCLE BLACKOUT.
The reasons given were the Celtic Fest (at Grant Park) and World Music Fest. Well, Celtic Fest ain't no Taste of Chicago, and the World Music Fest was at scattered sites throughout the city.
Well, it didn't affect me as much as it did others. I've read on the CCM list about people who took Sat/Sun overnight trips depending on METRA to get them back to Chicago. Oops. The METRA loophole, 'it's our train and we get to say who plays with it'.
Anyhow, my situation was actually okay. I was headed out northwest, as was another cyclist, he going to Cary, me figuring on Harvard and some riding in the farmland between there and Rockford. The conductor came by about a half hour later to tell us that he had just been informed it was a NO BIKE day. Since we were already on, it was okay, but, we would not be able to take METRA back.
By the time I got to Woodstock, (we were half a dozen strong), no not really, I detrained. Hit the town festival, had a late breakfast and Zig Zagged back to Chicago. Found a little antique shop town called Ridgefield between Woodstock (no slouch in the antique shop market itself) and Crystal Lake.
Picked up the Fox River Trail (McHenry Prairie Trail) in CL and headed south. Hitting washrooms and watering holes. (Penny Road Pub, decent biker bar, as in Harley, but welcoming to all. At least when I was there.)
Made the mistake of visiting friends in South Barrington, so made a late nite run, (21:15 to 23:30), with lights blazing to get home. Full
I was also thinking of something like a scavenger hunt. That way it would be not so rushed. But still have an added twist. Then everyone meets at a nice pub for a little after party.
How could I have forgot "Midnight Express"!?!?!?!

Seriously, night cycling already has plenty of risks involved. Mainly, it's dark, and those that can do us the most harm, motorized vehicles, are even less likely to look out for cyclists. Even with adequate lighting.
Anyone down for some midnight racing ("Midnight Runs", "Midnight Oil")? Perhaps on a week night or this weekend? I was thinking maybe sprints or a "course" of back streets that are far from busy at night.
Any ideas on when and what to do? People even interested at all?
Anyone down for some midnight racing ("Midnight Runs", "Midnight
Oil")? Perhaps on a week night or this weekend? I was thinking maybe

We have to re-mark about 12 miles of the Boulevard Lakefront
Course.
You get to put paint on the street - lots of times.
We have one volunteer. He knows what to do. We need another
person to accompany him.
If you are available tonight - 9PM for about 4 hours, please
phone me - Kathy Schubert - at 773 248 5499
Thanks.

Midnight Marauders Chicago Night cycling at its best!
just in case some of you didn't get this (arn't on the cm list), it sounds
pretty awesome...
1st annual Wicker Park Pedal Pushers Brigade Parade
presented by AAA Studios
On Saturday September 10th, AAA Studios presents the 1st Annual Wicker Park
Pedal Pushers Brigade Parade. This event allows anyone to partake in a
"RIDE
ANYTHING THAT IS RIDABLE" parade, with the one exception being no motorized
vehicles. Trick out your unicycle, tricycle, bike, big wheel, or create
your own contraption. Come in costume, paint, drag, plain clothes, or your
favorite ensemble. If creativity isn't your forte, no worries, pull into
our
tented garage and get overhauled by local artists, body painters and bike
mechanics.
This event is an opportunity to raise funds for research, information
programs, and advocacy efforts that support people with diabetes in our
community. Unlike most fundraising events here in Chicago, we are
providing
a platform and a unique opportunity for artists, performers, musicians and
the like to fully express their creative talents, network, promote
environmentally conscious transportation, and to get a little bit weird for
a good cause! Our efforts will directly benefit over 700,000 thousand
diabetics in Illinois, with nearly 400,000 of them in Chicago alone. We are
asking for a donation of only $10 to participate, with all proceeds
going to
the nonprofit American Diabetes Association. The ADA is dedicated to
prevent
and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by
diabetes.
Registration begins at 5:00pm in Wicker Park (Damen & Schiller, just south
of North/Milwaukee/Damen intersection).
The procession will begin in the park with ringmaster Anthony Mosley
(Collaboraction) and two performance art groups, Environmental Encroachment
and Mucca Pazza, leading the helm through the streets of Wicker Park.
We'll
take to the streets at approximately 7:00pm with the parade ending at a
post
parade block party at the AAA Space (Milwaukee & Wabansia, 2 blocks
north of
6 corners on Milwaukee).
If you can’t participate in the parade head directly over to AAA Studios,
where over 20 artists, performers, and musicians will participate in the
Around the Coyote Arts Festival. Feel free to check out the Mud Queens, an
all female charity fund raising/mud wrestling team. The Mud Queens will
wrestle to raise funds for the Young Women's Improvement Project. The
"mudness" begins at 7:00pm in the AAA parking lot, so throw down a $10
donation and watch these ladies go at it!
AAA Space will continue the festivities with drinks and live music by
Bible
of the Devil, Imperial Battlesnake, and Venue. Show your parade bracelet
and
get in for FREE, or a suggested $10 donation. Beverages provided by Goose
Island. So grab your “ride”, gear up and come on out for this fundraising
fiesta!
