Still high from the great time on Saturday's Giro, Sharon and I are pleased to announce:
Tour de France LTH-style
Saturday July 26, 2008 (to coincide with the last days of the Tour de France)
11:00 am - ?
This will be another bike and eat ride around Chicago (20-30 miles or so) with a French food theme. Nothing is definite yet, but here is a rough idea of what we might do:
Late breakfast/morning snack of croissants/pain au chocolat
Pick up pates, cheeses, baguettes, olives for a picnic lunch
Afternoon crepe snack
Ending with dinner at Cyrano's (we thought Cyrano's would be good as it is somewhat central and close to el stops so that people don't need to bike after drinking wine at dinner)
So at this time, we welcome your ideas. Where should be stop for the croissants, cheeses and pates, crepes? Other Friench foood ideas other than these obvious ones?
As with the giro, once we get suggestions, Sharon and I will make the final choices on the stops, map the route and post details as we approach the date.
If you'd like to join us, please post here. We'll be limiting it to 15 riders as that is what we thought we could manage best.
And if there are any motorcycle riders who would like to join us as safety patrol, that would be great. It was awesome to have Octarine play that role over the weekend.
Merci!
