Routes: none specified

The ride will be the 3rd weekend in September.
If we continue to follow "tradition" that would put it on Friday September 20th for the traditional 'get together' dinner; with the actual ride being Saturday morning the 21st, followed with the post-ride dinner
(yet to be determined)

This ride takes you through a few small, quaint towns and villages in 3 counties: Stephenson, JoDaviess and Carroll counties. (That is if you are doing the century route)
If you are planning to do the 70 mile option- you will ride through 2 counties. There will be a winery along one of the routes (Massbach Winery) and also you will ride near the wind farm. 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 21st at the YMCA, located at the Highland Community College Campus 2866 W. Pearl City Road in Freeport Illinois.
