We changed it up a bit - this week, instead of a ride to Hampshire or Burlington - our route will take us to Alqonquin.
Thought we'd check out Garden on Main for a bite to eat (They open at 11:00 and we might just qualify for their 20% senior discount.) OR we can find a coffee shop.
LOCATION TBD SO CHECK BACK - route will either begin at James O'Breen in St Charles (for a 50 m loop) or Fox River Bluff West parking lot (for a 36m loop). WEATHER CANCELLATIONS: Will be posted by 6:30 am day of ride.
This Low Intermediate (12-14) ride will be mostly on paved trails with some roads. With a planned water stop and stop for a quick bite or coffee.
Check back a couple of days before the ride for the route and starting point.
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. Helmet and rear lights required. Front lights and high-visibility apparel strongly recommended to enhance personal safety.
PLEASE no music - we want everyone to be able to clearly hear traffic and rider cues.
Safety is our top priority! Please be familiar with our safety protocols and cycling rules.
