Temperatures may still be unseasonably warm this Saturday (upper 40's).
Join me for a ride from Elgin heading north on the Fox River Trail/Prairie
Trail. I plan to ride at least as far as Algonquin (20 miles round trip)
and perhaps all the way to Crystal Lake (30 miles round trip) depending on
the weather. All paved, mostly flat. Casual ride, no one left behind.
Your option to turn around sooner depending on your available time and
energy since you can't get lost on the way back. (Turn around in Dundee for
10 miles, or in Crystal Lake for 20 miles.) You can also start with us from
the Dundee Depot at about 10:30 AM, giving 20 miles to the gazebo and back.
Forecast currently says good chance of rain so watch for updates.
After the ride visit the dinosaur exhibit at the Elgin library.
What: Ride Fox River Trail/Prairie Trail (from Elgin to Crystal Lake)
When: Saturday, November 8, 10:00 AM (please arrive 15 minutes early to
prepare)
Where: Gail Borden library in Elgin (270 N Grove Ave, Elgin)
What: ~30 mile ride
How: Casual speed, no one left behind, but generally 10-12 mph.
Reminders: Helmets are expected safety gear. Bikes are expected to be in
reasonable condition. Guests are welcome to join us for one ride but are
expected to join the club for additional rides (insurance requirements).
Fountains will probably be disabled so bring enough water. Please carry
emergency contact info.
Let me know you are coming so I don't leave without you.

CANCELED
Regrets for today's ride. It is already misting here, and scattered showers/sprinkles are expected by late morning. With cold temps it is best to be cautious and cancel rather than risk getting wet. Weather next weekend looks nicer so we'll try something next Saturday.
