We'll meet at the parking lot behind the Harris Bank that's at the north corner of the Plaza.  Please look here for the exact location.  The parking lot is rarely used (so there's space to park if you drive to the start), and it keeps you away from the crazed locals trying to get their Starbucks fix.

A couple of routes that you can think about to get from Sheridan Road in Wilmette to Plaza del Lago.
    1. The most direct route, provided by our own Lou Kuhn of the Pony Shop, if you don't mind the brick streets in Wilmette
    2.  The slightly longer route, with normally paved roads, endorsed by Warren.  NOTE -- be careful at Poplar and Linden.  You will have a stop sign; crossing traffic does not.

Longer/shorter rides can often be negotiated during the ride.

The route may vary; Team Judson is first and foremost an anarchy, and whoever is in front gets the ultimate choice about the route we take.
