Description

This ride will visit several breweries just off the bucolic Fox River Trail, rated the most scenic Chicagoland bike trail by myself.

Take the 8:40 AM BNSF Metra to Aurora (or you can ride out if you want) and arrive at 10:11. Ride slowly for 11 miles to Penrose in Geneva which opens at 11:00. Then ride 18 miles to Emmetts in West Dundee. Then ride 6 more miles to Scorched Earf in Algonquin. Then 5 miles to Crystal Lake Brewing and possible fireworks. 40 miles total.

Trains out of Crystal Lake at 5,7 and 9 PM. There are multiple other Metra stations along the trail if you want to bail early.

Bring: water, snacks, tire changing gear, TiNa. lights.

Its is recommended that you pick you up the BNSF at Union Station to ensure seating.
