Horribly Hilly Hundreds! From the event website:
"Three routes, two county tours, one result: a painfully fun, must-do biking experience destined to find its way onto your June calendar for years to come.
2025 marks the 22nd Horribly Hilly Hundreds. Commonly referred to as the "Suffer fest of the Year" and "The Toughest One-Day Challenge Ride in the Midwest" is not to be missed by serious riders anywhere.
Since 2003, Horribly Hilly participants have enjoyed a day of riding that results in an awe-inspiring accumulation of 10,000 feet of elevation gain in the Driftless Area of Wisconsin. Growing in popularity each year, although not a lotter anymore the Horribly Hilly registration has reached capacity each year months prior to the event. A second and third route option beyond the original course were added in 2005 and 2011. How hard do you want to push it? Choose between the 100K, 150K, and 200K routes. The day is capped with a meal featuring quality local food and beer.
Approximately 1,200 riders test their mettle on southwestern Wisconsin‘s scenic byways each year in the Horribly Hilly. Join the ranks of an inspired community of riders for the premier cycling event in the Badger State and beyond."
I will be doing the 200k option and hope to hold 13mph rolling average, starting at the mass start at 6:45am or close to said time.
If you are participating in this event but dont see me at the ride start, you can email me at ctmay@protonmail.com with your route completion proof.
You must sign up for this ride! You can do so at: https://www.bikesignup.com/Race/WI/BlueMounds/HorribleHillyHundreds
Lombard: Madison Meadows Park Madison St Entrance
Sat, Jun 14, 2025 at 8:00 AM
Join me and fellow EBC riders in a "warm up" ride for the up-coming Double Century.
This will be a route from Lombard South West towards Plainfield with 2-3 rest stops and opportunities for more if needed. I expect 6-7hrs of ride time plus the rest stops.
Expect rolling speeds to be 18mph+ with no pressure to pull. Much like a Blue Skies ride... This is a self-supported no drop ride.
Text with any questions or concerns.

Come join us for a Hump Day Hustle ride in Naperville with not a lot of Hustle!! This is a "No Drop" "Social Ride". The ride will be a little different than the Hump Day Hustle leaving out of Villa Park since the main break will be at the end of the ride and the mileage is a little less.
We will leave from Pioneer Park, (where there is parking and restroom facilities), take the river path through Knoch Knoll, (restroom break if needed), to Whalen Lake and around, (again restroom break if needed), and then head back the way we came to Pioneer Park for some fellowship at the picnic tables at the end of the ride. Please feel free to bring the beverage or snack of your choice. I have taken this route on several occasions but will be making slight changes throughout the rest of the year to accommodate as many riders as possible. Also, the days are getting shorter so having lights over the next couple of weeks will become mandatory.

*** Look here for specific details on this week‘s Hustle. ***
Come join our highly-social, evening, trail ride that has been a Spring, Summer and Fall tradition since August, 2015, always rolling at the speed-of-fun. :-)
We ride as a team and enthusiastically encourage communication, conversation and laughter - as long as riders prescribe to safe practices such as: communicating about obstacles and maintaining gaps that are appropriate for the speed, terrain and weather conditions.
Your bike must have headlights and tail lights. Avoid using retina-burning, overly-bright and strobing lights since we ride trails as a pack and are usually separated from car and truck traffic. We try to courteously douse headlights when passing pedestrians and fellow riders as we ride into growing darkness.
History has shown that this ride can be done with most any kind of bike, but sometimes conditions can make it tough for narrower tires. You be the judge.
No rider will ever be left behind. We have several bona fide EBC Ride Leaders attending this ride for extra safety. ...But you must make sure that your bike is ready and you are in athletic condition for this distance and pace. Note that 10-12 mph on a trail may take the same effort as 13-16 mph on a road; ...and riding a heavy, fat or mountain bike requires yet additional effort.
Our routes vary from one week to the next. Look for route information on our e-mail list server each week before the ride. Let‘s rock!

The Swedish Days Ride is the premier cycling event in Northern Illinois and the signature event of the Fox Valley Bicycle & Ski Club (FVBSC). Now in its 55th year, the Swedish Days Ride travels the quiet, scenic and relatively flat paved roads of rural Kane, Kendall and DeKalb counties, meandering through cornfields and through shaded thoroughfares.
??????The Swedish Days Ride offers six routes ranging from our NEW FAMILY RIDE (12 miles) to the iconic Double Metric Century (133 miles), providing a “just right” distance for cycling families to competitive athletes. This year you can also create your own ride by combining colored loops.
The ride is fully supported with one centralized rest stop boasting AC/indoor facilities stocked with nutritional items, onsite morning emergency mechanical support and bicycle supplies, and roaming SAG patrol vehicles. With over 75 helpful volunteers, the Swedish Days Ride provides a superior riding experience to our goal of 1000 guests this year.
FVBSC donates all of the proceeds from this event to support organizations promoting safe cycling, education, advocacy, infrastructure development and cycling for people with disabilities, such as the Ride Illinois, Rails to Trails, Project Mobility, Easter Seals (bikes for kids) and ARES. Our event has no affiliation with the Geneva Chamber of Commerce’s Swedish Days Festival.
COST
4/1-5/31 $45 individual and $60 family
6/1-6/27 $55 individual and $70 family
6/28-6/29 $65 individual and $80 family

Lombard: Madison Meadows Park Madison St Entrance
Fri, Jul 11, 2025 at 5:00 AM
When I saw and heard that Julie couldn‘t host this ride I was devastated....
In honor of Julie and to keep up the tradition, come join us for our annual triple B or cloverleaf century ride out of Madison Meadows. We will first do the early BUSSE route (plus a few miles as time allows) and then meet up with the BLUE Skies Ride and finish with the early BIRD route as needed to get to 100 miles.
Unfortunately, I am not as good a baker as Julie, so all snacks will be self-supported unless someone else wants to coordinate. After the ride we will go to BILLY BRICKS pizza in Lombard on St. Charles for those who have time.
Hoping to average 17+ but will depend on weather, etc. Feel free to join for 1, 2 or all 3 legs of this ride.
Please let me and/or Bob Wettermann know no later (but hopefully sooner) than the night before if you are planning to join. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Note the 5 am sharp start time to get out before it gets too hot!

Come join us for a Hump Day Hustle ride in Naperville with not a lot of Hustle!! This is a "No Drop" "Social Ride". The ride will be a little different than the Hump Day Hustle leaving out of Villa Park since the main break will be at the end of the ride and the mileage is a little less.
We will leave from Pioneer Park, (where there is parking and restroom facilities), take the river path through Knoch Knoll, (restroom break if needed), to Whalen Lake and around, (again restroom break if needed), and then head back the way we came to Pioneer Park for some fellowship at the picnic tables at the end of the ride. Please feel free to bring the beverage or snack of your choice. I have taken this route on several occasions but will be making slight changes throughout the rest of the year to accommodate as many riders as possible. Also, the days are getting shorter so having lights over the next couple of weeks will become mandatory.

From the event website:
"Old Fashioned Gravel
We are fortunate enough to have some of the best gravel riding in the Midwest and have put together four routes to show off the local terrain. As with all of our rides, we offer a little bit of everything and welcome EVERYONE from novice riders to the most seasoned racers. The focus of the ride is to bring like-minded individuals together for a great ride, but we will have professional timing so if you want to race we will have you covered too! Routes that will satisfy all of your gravely desires, and a post-ride gathering with food, drink, and hangs with new friends.
We will introduce an awesome new venue in Hokah Minnesota, a rustic farm nestled in a scenic coulee. While the ride is about riding with other rad people like yourself, rest assured a portion of your entry fee will go to a local entity that could use a little financial help. If we can have a super fun time while helping others, that is what will make this a successful event. We will also be using local businesses to feed and hydrate us. Hokah is a super cool little town, and we would love to help keep our money local.
All routes will leave and finish at the farm. The gravel is approximately two miles from the start line, and one mile of that is a paved climb, once you are on the ridge, the dust shall start flying! All routes will descend this paved section upon return to the finish line."
