Schaumburg Bicycle Club 9th Annual Spring Forward 2009

Celebrate SPRING and the promise of another great bicycling season! April weather is unpredictable so bring appropriate clothing. Whatever your persuasion, cross your fingers, salute the sun, meditate or say a prayer for weather good enough to bicycle.

Non-bicycling friends and family may want to visit Union’s Railroad Museum, Donley’s Wild West Town or shop at the Huntley Mall.

The small village of Union has been welcoming and friendly toward SPRING FORWARD and we want to keep it that way. Please do not park in front of the American Legion or Checkers Restaurant, or in their parking lots. Parking Monitors will direct you to parking. Park first, then register at the American Legion and have a great Lion’s Club breakfast.
