About this event
Here is the 200K route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49944105
This is a Randonneur event from Evanston to Bull Valley and back on quiet roads. Bull Valley is just west of Crystal Lake/McHenry.
This ride is entirely self-supported! No Rest Stops, no SAG, and no Drafting. That is the definition of Randonneuring. You have to find water/food/refueling on your own and be responsible for your bike as well. There are recommended stops at 42mi, 72mi, 79mi, 97mi on the GPS Route, and you can find others on your own if needed.
To participate you must be a Randonneurs USA (RUSA) member, and must also signup for the ride via the local Chicago Randonneurs website. We have approximately 20 EBC members in RUSA.
For Randonneurs USA:
Be aware, RUSA registration needs two days to process a new member application. For myself, I will register with RUSA on the morning of Wednesday October 1st using PayPal (as PayPal processes quicker according to RUSA). Registering on or after October 1st provides registration through all of next year 12/31/2026.

For Chicago Randonneurs:
Once you are a RUSA member, you need to register for the Bull Valley Run 200K with the local chapter Chicago Randonneurs. The cost is only $10 for this single ride. Or free if you are already a Chicago Rando member.
