MUST BE RANDONNEURS USA Members AND sign up via Chicago Randonneurs. The fourth ride of the Chicago Randonneurs 2025 Rouleur series will be a team event, a 120 Km DART Populaire. Completion of this ride and the other rides from the Chicago Randonneurs Rouleur series will get you the highly coveted RUSA Rouleur award! This ride leaves from the Two Brothers Roundhouse in Aurora, IL. The 8:15 AM start time allows riders from the city to take Metra and use the restroom prior to the start. This event is a little different from the others. Riders register for the event in teams of 5 and ride together the entire way, taking all of the allotted time. It’s a party ride. Each team of 5 riders takes a slightly different route, and we have great routes for teams to use — so no need to worry about creating a route. Interested? Follow the steps below. 1- Read the rules on RUSA Dart Populaires: https://rusa.org/pages/dartpopulairerules 2- Assemble your team of 5 riders 3- Have all 5 riders fill out the waiver for the event on the website, as for other events 4- Email me at rba@chicagorandonneurs.org and let me know who is on your team, and what the team name is. https://rusa.org https://www.chicagorando.org/schedule https://rusa.org/pages/award-rouleur

Come one, come all to a social meet up at Two Brothers Brewery in Aurora. This is right after the Chicago Randonneurs Dart Team Event, which finishes at 4:15 pm.

Come join Black Girls Do Bike in the first of their four Developmental Rides: From the Black Girls Do Bike Chicago Facebook page: "Welcome to the 1st April Developmental Ride in the 2025 Series! We’ll be reviewing bike safety, reacquainting ourselves with our bikes and one another. These are ‘no drop’ rides and EVERYONE is Welcome! Several ride leaders will be on each ride, so there will someone to ride with you at all times. We will also take a group picture prior to the ride and will start PROMPTLY at 2:30pm WHAT YOU NEED: Helmets: Are REQUIRED! Gear Bag: buy a gear bag (saddle bag is recommended) and stock it with the basics – 1-2 tire tubes, tools, a small multi-tool, and either a mini-pump or a CO2 cartridge set (you don’t have to know how to change a flat but PLEASE have your own supplies, so that we may assist you in getting your bike up and rolling again). Hydration/Food: Remember to bring Water Bottle and maybe an Energy Snack Lights: Front & Rear Cycling Lights, especially for evening and street riding. Tire Pressure: Please be sure to pump your tires prior to coming to the ride or bring a floor pump to use in the parking lot before the ride. If you need help, the ride leader will be there to help you learn. ***If you have tubeless tires to be sure to carry the stem remover and a bottle of sealant so you can add sealant on the fly if you need to. Your Bike: Give it a quick inspection. Spin the wheels to make sure they aren’t rubbing. Do the gears shift accurately and easily? Does everything seem to be in order? This is called an ABC check. (Air, Brakes, and Chain) In Addition, you may find that Sunglasses, Cycling Gloves and Padded Cycling Shorts will make your ride more comfortable. Arrive at least 30 minutes early to the ride, so that you may prepare yourself, your bike and be available for a group photo. We will depart PROMPTLY at the posted ride time!" If you wanted to attend with me, open to anyone heading with me from Lombard,

*** Look here for specific details on this week‘s Hustle. *** Come join our highly-social, evening, trail ride that has been a Spring, Summer and Fall tradition since August, 2015, always rolling at the speed-of-fun. :-) We ride as a team and enthusiastically encourage communication, conversation and laughter - as long as riders prescribe to safe practices such as: communicating about obstacles and maintaining gaps that are appropriate for the speed, terrain and weather conditions. Your bike must have headlights and tail lights. Avoid using retina-burning, overly-bright and strobing lights since we ride trails as a pack and are usually separated from car and truck traffic. We try to courteously douse headlights when passing pedestrians and fellow riders as we ride into growing darkness. History has shown that this ride can be done with most any kind of bike, but sometimes conditions can make it tough for narrower tires. You be the judge. No rider will ever be left behind. We have several bona fide EBC Ride Leaders attending this ride for extra safety. ...But you must make sure that your bike is ready and you are in athletic condition for this distance and pace. Note that 10-12 mph on a trail may take the same effort as 13-16 mph on a road; ...and riding a heavy, fat or mountain bike requires yet additional effort. Our routes vary from one week to the next. Look for route information on our e-mail list server each week before the ride. Let‘s rock!

A challenging gravel event in Elkader, Iowa with 2 distance options, 45 and 100 miles. 90-95% of each course is gravel with a few miles of level B, blacktop and bike trail included. There are hills in this area of the state, some rollers but a lot of steep semi-short climbs. The estimated average for climbing is 100 feet per mile. Gear Recommendations ? Recommended tire size is obviously different depending on rider experience but 32MM width or larger is best. There are little to no MMR roads on the course so you do not need to plan on miles of mud. Gearing is usually the biggest issue riders run into given the steepness of the climbs so bring a wide gearing range if you don‘t plan on making it a duathlon. The race ends on a 1/2 mile gavel track (Cayton County Velodrome) where racers will do one full lap where they cross the finish line the final time. All Race Distances do a lap at the end of the race. Register here: https://www.driftlessgravel.com https://www.driftlessgravel.com/the-race Proceeds are donated to the local EMS crew in Clayton County, Iowa.

Must be member of Randonneurs USA and sign up via Driftless Randonneurs website. Details below via Driftless Randonneurs website: "The first ever flèche in the Driftless! Here’s your opportunity to be a route designer! The flèche is a team event made up of no fewer than 3 but no more than 5 bikes (note that a tandem counts as a single bike) with at least 3 finishers from the team in order to get credit. A brief overview of the rules: Teams ride for 24 hours. Each team must ride a minimum of 360 km with no more than 2 hours stopped in a single location. Teams develop their own route which arrives at the designated finish location no later than 24 hours after the official brevet start. A minimum of 25 km must be ridden in the last two hours of the event. Teams must present documentation (receipt, time stamped photo showing the location) as proof they rode at least 25 km in the last two hours. Complete rules are here: https://rusa.org/pages/flecherules Our finish location is Vintage Brewing, 600 Water St, Sauk City. Of course we’ll have a post ride celebration at Vintage Brewing to talk about our rides and how great we are! We’ll meet for breakfast on Sunday at the Spring Green General Store, 137 South Albany St, Spring Green. We’ll work out a time later. Note that the General Store is roughly a 25 minute drive from Sauk City. Teams should identify a team captain who will be responsible for providing proof of passage for the team. Each team must develop its own route. Traditionally, a flèche route is point-to-point but loop routes are also acceptable if desired to simplify logistics. Routes must be submitted to RBA, Greg Smith, no later than 30 days prior to the event – no exceptions!

Horribly Hilly Hundreds! From the event website:
"Three routes, two county tours, one result: a painfully fun, must-do biking experience destined to find its way onto your June calendar for years to come.


2025 marks the 22nd Horribly Hilly Hundreds. Commonly referred to as the "Suffer fest of the Year" and "The Toughest One-Day Challenge Ride in the Midwest" is not to be missed by serious riders anywhere.


Since 2003, Horribly Hilly participants have enjoyed a day of riding that results in an awe-inspiring accumulation of 10,000 feet of elevation gain in the Driftless Area of Wisconsin. Growing in popularity each year, although not a lotter anymore the Horribly Hilly registration has reached capacity each year months prior to the event. A second and third route option beyond the original course were added in 2005 and 2011. How hard do you want to push it? Choose between the 100K, 150K, and 200K routes. The day is capped with a meal featuring quality local food and beer.


Approximately 1,200 riders test their mettle on southwestern Wisconsin‘s scenic byways each year in the Horribly Hilly. Join the ranks of an inspired community of riders for the premier cycling event in the Badger State and beyond."

I will be doing the 200k option and hope to hold 13mph rolling average, starting at the mass start at 6:45am or close to said time.
If you are participating in this event but dont see me at the ride start, you can email me at ctmay@protonmail.com with your route completion proof.
You must sign up for this ride! You can do so at: https://www.bikesignup.com/Race/WI/BlueMounds/HorribleHillyHundreds

4 Distance Options: 20-40-60-100 miles at your own pace. 400 rider cap. Register here: https://oldfashionedgravel.com From the event website: "Old Fashioned Gravel We are fortunate enough to have some of the best gravel riding in the Midwest and have put together four routes to show off the local terrain. As with all of our rides, we offer a little bit of everything and welcome EVERYONE from novice riders to the most seasoned racers. The focus of the ride is to bring like-minded individuals together for a great ride, but we will have professional timing so if you want to race we will have you covered too! Routes that will satisfy all of your gravely desires, and a post-ride gathering with food, drink, and hangs with new friends. We will introduce an awesome new venue in Hokah Minnesota, a rustic farm nestled in a scenic coulee. While the ride is about riding with other rad people like yourself, rest assured a portion of your entry fee will go to a local entity that could use a little financial help. If we can have a super fun time while helping others, that is what will make this a successful event. We will also be using local businesses to feed and hydrate us. Hokah is a super cool little town, and we would love to help keep our money local. All routes will leave and finish at the farm. The gravel is approximately two miles from the start line, and one mile of that is a paved climb, once you are on the ridge, the dust shall start flying! All routes will descend this paved section upon return to the finish line."
