A big long ride this Sunday both for those who want to get a training ride in for the upcoming Double Century, and also for those who just want to have some fun!
This route is based off of a route I did before I joined EBC, and this time around it is much safer and better planned out. We start in Villa Park, heading westward in the suburbs to Saint Charles, before meandering into Dekalb and turning south to hit Shabbona for Lunch, before heading back eastward through Kaneville, N Aurora, and Downers Grove. Please not that some larger roads are ridden on in this ride (for very short periods of time), and group riding experience is definitely required
Heres the route: https://www.strava.com/routes/3235415185143137330
Planned Stops:
31 Miles in at Walgreens
55 Miles in at CircleK
80 Miles in, at either Shabbona Cafe or Screamers Ice Cream for Lunch
110 Miles in at BP at WVCC
136 Miles in at Shell
Im looking to hold us at about 2 Hours 30 minutes of rest time during this trip, as thats about the rate of rest per hour cycling we had during last years DC. If all goes well, we should be home right before 5PM.
