This ride takes you through a few small, quaint towns and villages in 3 counties: Stephenson, JoDaviess and Carroll counties. There will be a winery along one of the routes and also you will ride near the windfarm. These roads are mostly low-traffic and some a little hilly! One of the routes has a total of 5,300 ft. of climbing! How's that for a challenge? Oh and speaking of challenge-- Binkley hill is one that is very challenging which has a 15% grade. There are some spectacular views to enjoy. For those of you who do not want to do a century, there is a 70 mile route option available. The ride begins at sunrise (approx 7:00a.m.) on Saturday morning, Sept 15th at the YMCA, located at the Highland Community College Campus 2866 W. Pearl City Road in Freeport Illinois.
