Planned 35-mile trail/neighborhood ride from BRW to South Elgin. Route will be mostly paved but there could be a few limestone sections.  Cross/Gravel/Hybrid bikes recommended but road bikes with wide tires should be OK.  Planned average pace will be ~13-14 mph.  Water stop planned at mile 20.   

This is a NO DROP ride.  Accordion riding expected (riders may separate and regroup (at safe distance) at major turns).  Objective is to keep everyone together during the majority of the ride at the advertised pace. 

Strongly suggest you have a map/cue sheet of the route and/or loaded on your GPS/phone.  Rear lights required.  Front lights and high-visibility apparel strongly recommended to enhance personal safety.

Safety is our top priority!  Please be familiar with our safety protocols and cycling rules.
 
You may want to bring a change of clothes as many of us may plan a post-ride meal at a local restaurant based on group interest.
