We braved the cold for beer in November, so why not do it again in December? This edition of BFF Bikes to Beer will lead us to Half Day Brewing Company in Lincolnshire!

Conveniently located just off the Des Plaines River Trail, we will take the trail most of the way. The ride will be mixed terrain with a combination of roads, gravel, and dirt. Cross bikes are recommended, but road bikes are fine if the conditions are dry.

The one-way trip is 31 miles. The Lake Forest Metra station is 5 miles from the brewery, so you can take the train back to the city after lunch. There are trains at 2:24 and 4:24.

If anyone in the group would like to ride back, ride leader Kelly will be happy to make the return trip as well via the same route.
