Lombard: Madison Meadows Park Madison St Entrance
This road ride will follow Isaac's classic Blue Skies route from Lombard to St. Charles, including the Munger Loop. I expect to hold the upper end of the posted rolling speed, with optional sprints. We will face some hills, rollers, and open road with narrow shoulders, so a road bike and some road riding experience is highly recommended. No one will be dropped.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
St. Charles: Great Western Trail head (off Dean Street)
A road ride in the country to DeKalb and back.
There will be one quick stop in DeKalb before returning.
If we keep the stop short and average 15mph we should be back by 2:30.
Notify me off-list if you are interested so I have an idea who's coming.
I will post a route after I do a pre-ride.
Oh - and no boat shoes.

The Blackwell FP (Southern most parking Lot)
Warrenville, IL
Join me for the ride to Sam Gunda’s Memorial Lunch at a Hindu temple in Aurora, IL. Sam was the beloved member of the EBC who passed away last year. His family is hosting a memorial lunch to celebrate his life. We will stay for and hour, meet his family and have a lunch of southern Indian fare. The lunch could be spicy. My pace would be a bit slower 10-12 mph to accommodate wider range of riders.
If you are planning to join me, please, RSVP to Sam’s family by clicking this link: http://evite.me/TmdUM7SbEH or refer to George’s email a couple of days ago.
Elmhurst: Community Bank of Elmhurst
Memorial for Richard Diebold, long time member of Elmhurst Bicycle Club. He and Freda Brown inspired so many of us to enjoy each outing and to try the next level.

Willow Springs: Saganashkee Slough West Boat Launch
GPS Coordinates: (41.6962865, -87.9056681)
We will hike 10-12 miles the backwoods of the Palos Forest Preserves at a moderate to brisk pace. After hiking 7-8 miles we will take a trail side break. Please, bring the snacks and water or hot drinks for possibly a cold day. Also, dress for the weather. I recommend a pair of sturdy hiking boots and trekking poles. Also, bring a pair of micro spikes if snow/ice on the ground.
This hike is in conjunction with the Forest Trail Hiking Club. The EBC members should be comfortable hiking with a large group of hikers. There will be a after hike tail gate party. Please, bring a mask just in case.
Please, let me know if you are coming so I can look for you at the start.
