Tropical Lands in a cold city: Garfield Park Conservatory at night

11/09/2006 - 5:30pm
11/09/2006 - 9:00pm

Come join us on a tropical romp to the beautiful Garfield Park Conservatory. This is a 'dark' ride, so be sure to have a headlight and blinkies.

We will start in Hyde Park at the Coffee Shop under the 56th Street Metra Electric/Rock Island station, then tool up to the beautiful Garfield Park Conservatory for a self-guided tour of this lovely landmark.

    •Dress in layers as the ride is bound to be chilly, while the greenhouse is downright jungle-like.•

Ride length: approx. 24 miles round trip. Return by bike, or by the 'el' Blue line ---> Red line.

Dinner in Little Italy at Tuscany Restaurant at approx. 8 pm. Tuscany is a bit pricier than our normal CS haunts, so either plan on eating light, or bring a bit more cash than you normally would. (http://www.stefanirestaurants.com/tuscany.htm)
