Amlings Cycle, 8140 N. Milwaukee Ave., Niles, IL
Step right up and check out all the cool offerings from spanners and helmets to bells and... well, wet your whistle at the next stop. This place is a little slice of bike enthusiast Heaven.

12:45 pm
City's Edge 5310 W. Devon Ave., Chicago, IL
Here is where you can wet your whistle and enjoy a sports bar feel with to-die-for sides (waffle fries & Brussels sprouts). A fantastic brisket slider. Super close to the trail and super friendly downtown Edgebrook vibe.

2pm 
Alarmist Brewing 4055 W Peterson, Chicago, IL
Cycle a bit east for an NBTA partner business from the beginning. This truly chill location is great for kicking back and trying a new brew. Crazy for cider? Yoda says, Try you must the love inspired Right Bee Cider brand (born to the efforts of a local Sauganash couple).

3:45 pm 
Lake Effect Brewing - 4727 W Montrose Ave, Chicago, IL
One beer is your golden ticket to tour this brewery. Learn the difference of the Lake Effect!

5 pm 
Albany Place Kitchen & Bar - 4551 N. Pulaski Rd., Chicago 
BRAND NEW BUSINESS!
It wouldn't be an NBTA ride without a last stop watering hole with staying power. Enjoy recounting the ride and connecting with fellow riders as we put our fourth NBTA September ride in the books.
