[READ FULL DESC] Come join me for a spectacular ride on some of the most scenic roads through the Baraboo Range! Over these 81 miles there is 6600 feet of elevation gain, mostly contained between 13 different climbs. Rest stops at 20 and 50 miles. Bring some extra fuel for between stops! While this ride is posted for 15-16mph (14-16), the effort required will be equivalent to a 17-19+ ride in Chicagoland. These are some of the biggest hills in the midwest! This will be a semi-drop ride- we will try to keep the pace at a level that is doable for everyone, but because of limited daylight, some riders may feel the need to turn back early. PLEASE RSVP! You can reach me at 630 589 2863. If you do not let me know that you intend on riding, we may start the ride without you. The route can be found here:https://www.strava.com/routes/3551016148354806770

Please join me on a bike ride to Oak Park. This is Ron Richards‘ version, a bit more city. On a Sunday, so should be quieter streets. Includes Westchester Bemis Woods LaGrange Park Brookfield Riverside Berwyn Oak Park Road bike recommended. Here is the route: https://ridewithgps.com/trips/15157012 Be there, Jeff W

Please join me at Madison Meadows at 9 AM to ride to the Arboretum to do as many loops as you please before we ride back. I will be keeping two mileage tallies, one for the people that join me to ride to and from the Arboretum and one for those who prefer to just meet at the Arboretum and do their loops from there. We should be at the Arboretum at 10 o’clock to join the main event and say hello to everybody else who’s there to hike. After completing as many loops as you’d like, we will, of course adjourn to the café to enjoy socially interacting with each other. I have a membership for two so I can get one other person into the Arboretum. Otherwise, hopefully you have your own membership or you can get in on someone else’s. We will be braver than any of the elements with the exception of thunder and lightning, I’m not that brave.

Join Pussanee and me for a 48-mile Ride to eat. Lunch is at Taco Dale Cantina in Oswego for casual Mexican food and drinks, as always Pussanee and I will buy a beer, margarita, or soft drink for riders. We have never eaten here, but reviews are good. It is a chain though so do not expect authentic Mexican cuisine. Great River views along the Fox River on the way. The northern section passes through several nice forest preserves. Between Batavia and North Aurora Dam, the Fox River Trail runs along both sides of the river, with the east bank section running through the exceptionally beautiful Red Oak and Glenwood Park Forest Preserves. 95% paved trails with 5% crushed limestone so any bike is fine. We will ride our road tandem. Electric bikes are most welcome. We will stop in Batavia to watch an animated Halloween display for about 20 minutes if it is still up. The early weather forecast calls for Cloudy skies and warm temperatures with a high 68F and winds out of the SE at 5 to 10 mph. Back about 3:30pm, unless we are not. Please kindly register due to remote start. This is my 48-mile route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/57735128

So begins another season of Winter Rotating Trail Ride (WRTR) award eligibility. * All EBC Ride Leaders are eligible to create a WRTR. * All eligible rides must have "WRTR: ..." in the ride title on our calendar. * Riders seeking awards must have 10 or more WRTR rides completed within the eligible season and listed on their "My Rides" profile on our website. - No exceptions. * These are trail rides only. Road rides are not eligible. Any bike will work, but for winter trail riding, a mountain bike, fat bike or hybrid with wide tires is strongly recommended. When the ice starts, tires with metal studs are further recommended. * The season closes at the end of February. * Awards will be presented by our club President at the EBC Annual Awards Night. * Let‘s rock!

Join me for a combination of coffee, socialization, and a short trail ride. We begin with coffee and conversation at the Villa Perk from 7:15 to 8 AM. Then, those who want to participate in a winter trail ride will leave from the VP Depot at 8:15 for a ride to downtown Wheaton and back for 15 miles. We take a very short break at the Starbucks in Wheaton for the bathroom and perhaps a quick mid-ride snack. We will be back around 10AM for those who need to get on with their day. The ride qualifies for John Riordan’s WRTR series. Make sure you bring a bike suitable for the conditions of the day which may involve riding in snow or wet conditions. Fat tire bikes are recommended. If conditions are too sloppy on the prairie path, I may substitute a road/trail combo on the Salt Creek Trail. The Villa Perk is directly across Villa Avenue from the VP Depot. Those arriving early for the ride are welcome to drop into the coffee shop to sign the ride sheet. The primary goal is to meet in person during the long winter season. All EBC members are welcome to share in coffee even if they have no plans to ride.
