We leave at 5:30 AM. It is still dark when this ride starts so lights and reflective clothing are mandatory. Hope to see you there!

Rotating Paceline out fhru Fermi Lab (Real ID or Passport Reqd). Turn around full break a MickyD‘s in Batavia and back. Rolling speed around 17mph on flat windless tarmac. Optional sprints and regroups on Mac, Fermi. and of course, CRAZY CRESCENT. NO DROP, NO WORRIES, NO DRAMA.

Changed our route to Bloomingdale, an all road ride. Paths in Meacham Grove may be too slippery. That is why. Road bike recommended. Here is the route: https://ridewithgps.com/trips/376770156 Be there, Jeff W

Join us for this for this great route to Plainfield with a quick stop at Commissioners and a full break at Krema Coffee in Plainfield. Out on Meadow and back on VanDyke with sprint options on the return.

Come Join us on the Lisle Early Bird. This is a no-drop ride that starts at the Lisle Police Station on Lincoln Ave,(RT.53).It‘s a great 17 mile loop through Lisle and Naperville. Lots of nice climbs and downhills. We leave at 5:30 AM, so it is dark when we start. Lights and reflective clothing are mandatory. We hope to see you there. Rain cancels the ride.

Warm up ride the day before the Door County Century from Forestville to Algoma to grab a beer at the Anhapee brewery. Here is the route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48349475 Please let me know if you will be joining the ride so I can look for you at the start.

The DCC is one of the most beautiful invitational rides in the midwest crisscrossing the Door County peninsula and featuring spectacular views of Green Bay and Lake Michigan. I plan to ride the century route, leaving around 7 AM. I‘ll submit names for all EBC riders. Contact me ahead of time if you want to coordinate riding together or afterwards with participation information. Registration will be selling out soon, so if you are interested in this ride, I recommend registering early at https://doorcountycentury.com/registration/

Join me for a brisk(not fast) ride around the western suburbs. Ride will include one brief rest stop, most likely going into the wind to start and have an average speed around 17 mph. Ride is canceled if it is raining at the start and NO e-bikes are allowed on this ride.

Start your week out with a nicely paced road ride. Routes will vary depending on the wind direction and other weather factors, but will all feature one mid-ride rest stop with bathroom, water refills, and probably food. Routes will have plenty of open sections to allow faster riders to go ahead with designated regroup points. I expect this ride will be moderately fast, a bit slower than blue skies, but fast enough to get a decent workout. This will be a weekly ride through October. Look for a detailed route description in this listing by 7 PM Sunday.

Please join me for a scenic morning bike ride to various Chicago suburbs. Road bike recommended. Cool bike route guarantee! :^) Actual bike route will be posted shortly before the ride. Be there, Jeff W

Join us for a 27-32 mile Road Ride ride at 14-16+ MPH with a few sprints. The route will be announced on the list server the day before the ride. Return will be after dark - Bright Front & Rear lights are required! Bright clothing is recommended. Rain Will Cancel - Check the list server!

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 a headlight and tail light. 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 courteously move to the right and try to 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 very narrow 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. E-bikes are welcome. Our routes vary from one week to the next. Look for week-specific route information on our e-mail list server a day or so before the ride. Let‘s rock!

We are approaching the end of summer and no better way to celebrate a great season of riding and hiking then with a PICNIC! It will be held at Madison Meadows Shelter, a great starting place for many rides of all levels. BBQ from Uncle Bub‘s, offering pulled pork, cornbread, and side favorites. Vegetarian options available as well. EBC members are encouraged to bring a dish to complement the main meal or a desert. For those who may not be riding that day, there are options to play a game of Cornhole, or take a leisure hike around the huge Madison Meadows Park. We have the shelter from 8am till dusk, so let‘s take advantage of the space. Please RSVP to ensure enough BBQ is ordered. Lunch will be served at noon, so plan your rides accordingly. RIDE LEADERS: Please list your rides beginning or stopping midway at Madison Meadows. Please contact Kim Messina 630-204-8945 or Laura Faxon 630-450-6324 if you have any questions.

The Grundy County Corn Fest Parade via I & M Trail. Come and join George and Pussanee on a leisurely ride down the I & M Canal Trail to The Grundy County Corn Fest Parade. This is a great event, with tons of good food, a great parade down main street and great buttered Sweet Corn! We plan to arrive in Morris around 12:30pm and stay for about 2.5 hours to eat and watch the Parade. Trail is crushed limestone so Cross, Hybrid, Mountain, or road bike works. Electric Bikes most welcome. We will take a very short detour on the way out to visit the Historical Burial Site of the legendary Ottawa Indian Shabbona who became the Chief of the Potawatomi Nation. This is a very interesting Cemetery, and we will allow a bit of time there. Bring a decent cable and lock. Also handy are walking shoes. Take I 55 S to Exit 248 towards Joliet/Morris, go right on U.S.6 west (Eames St) to S. Center St., left on Center St. which turns into Bridge Street, go past Canal St. and over the DuPage River to Trail Parking on your left. Please register.

Prepare for an unforgettable cycling adventure in the heart of the Midwest. Whether you‘re a seasoned gravel grinder or a casual rider seeking scenic thrills, our event promises an exhilarating experience for all. This is 3rd year of the event. Details: https://oldfashionedgravel.com Registration opens 1/15/26 at 12:00 pm and will sell out quickly, capped riders: https://www.bikereg.com/old-fashion From their website: "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."

A half-century ride through Chicago and near north suburbs to the original Hackney’s location on Harms Road in Glenview. The route features a mix of neighborhoods, city streets, and paved trails. One stop each way in addition to lunch. Hackney’s is a north suburb institution. This is the original location opened in 1939, featuring great food and outdoor dining next to Harms Woods along the North Branch Bike Trail. Entrees range from $15 to $20. Expect to be back in Elmhurst around 3:30 PM. I will stick with the advertised 14-16 MPH pace. This is a conversation-paced ride, not a fast ride! I will publish the route in the week before the ride. This year, I expect I will take my original route back into Elmhurst along North Avenue. Check back a few days before the ride for more details.
