CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER! 11:30am I&M Canal Trail Ride ~40Mi

Unfortunately this ride is cancelled due to the rain in the forecast.
Looking for a future date with better weather . . .






Terri will lead this beautiful ride along the historic I&M Canal beginning at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 20th.   You will enjoy beautiful fall colors and abundant wildlife in addition to restored locks and lock tenders’ residences and aqueducts reminiscent of a bygone era.   This ride is on limestone trails at a B pace (10-12 mph avg.) and should take a total of five hours including lunch at a quaint pub in Morris.  The distance is 20 miles each way.

Please meet us at the Rock Run Access Point west of Joliet.   Going east on I-80, take exit 127 (Houbolt Road) south and proceed across the railroad tracks.  The entrance to the parking area at the Rock Run Access point is a quarter mile south of the exit on the right.    Exit 127 is the first exit east of the intersection of I-80 and I-55.

Please call Terri at (630) 717-9724 if you have any questions.   Please use her cell phone (630) 205-9156 for last-minute arrangements.    Note: The ride will not take place if rain is likely, so please call first if that is the case.
