The ride is a one day tour of beautiful Northwest Illinois featuring spectacular ridge-top panoramas and long valley views carved by the melting of the glaciers at the end of the last ice age. With the seasonal cooperation of nature, our normally breathtaking scenery is likely to be made even more stunning by the vibrant fall foliage. Our tour takes place on the paved back-roads of Jo Daviess County and features a 22, 31, 46 or 60 mile route to satisfy everyone from the recreational cyclist to the seasoned pro. The ride will be fully supported with good food and drink, maps and road markings, and SAG vehicles. All riders start before 10:00 a.m. to ensure they can complete the ride before dark.
