Eric, some good interest and a regular calendar at Great Lakes Randonneurs.
So no activity on this group in over two years. WTF?
Is there zero interest in randonneuring from the Chicago commmunity?
Or has everyone moved on to other activities or other forums?
Well I'm still doing brevet rides and plan to do more in 2023.

Great Lakes Randonneurs will be doing a new kit this year at the request of members. The new kit is Chicago focused. Store will open up in early March. Our official opener is May 2 this year so that we have a shot at better weather, but we may sneak some rides in during April if the weather gets nice a little early this year.
Welcome to Randonneuring Ellen Gibbon. It's great to see another woman in randonneuring.
There are many opportunities near Chicago, in Wisconsin and the Midwest for Randonneuring. I haven't really looked at my randonneuring calendar for 2020 yet, but feel free to reach out to me at dmpiech21@gmail.com if you have any questions in the meantime. I have done a full series.
Additionally, I am organizing a Randonneurs USA 100K on March 8th with the Driftless Randonneurs in celebration of International Women's Day. I will post more information on here as details are finalized: https://driftlessrandos.org/
Just joined the Great Lakes Randonneurs and will be riding the 2020 200K, 300K, 400K and 600K. Would love to connect with anyone who's doing the same.
I pre-rode almost all of the Barrington route this past Saturday and it was really a nice ride! The hills are much milder compared to the Oregon, IL 200K on 5/4/19.
Mike W and I look forward to meeting you on either of these rides!
Looking for a 200km Brevet a bit closer to home? Great Lakes Randonneurs is holding its Barrington Boomerang 200km on Saturday, 11 May. This is a rolling out-and-back ride from Downtown Barrington to Darien, WI and back.
For further info see The Chainlink Calendar or visit http://www.greatlakesrando.org/
This is an ACP Brevet and a qualifying event for Paris-Brest-Paris.
A reminder that the Great Lakes Randonneurs will be holding ACP Brevets this Saturday 4 May. Rides start/finish in Oregon IL. Riders will have a choice of 200km or 300km routes. The courses are hilly, so bring your climbing gear! See The Chainlink Calendar for further info or go to http://www.greatlakesrando.org/
These rides are qualifying events for Paris-Brest-Paris 2019.

Randonneurs USA
Come one...Come all to the Driftless Randonneurs, based out of beautiful Western Wisconsin. The Driftless Randonneurs has an exceptional 2019 calendar and registration is open for all of the events. Some highlights include:
The Regional Brevet Administrator (RBA) for the region is Greg Smith, who lives near Richland Center. Greg started the region because he felt the area of SW Wisconsin is ideal for cycling with a wide network of paved and lightly traveled roads and he wanted to share some of his favorite rides and routes with others. Greg has the additional goal of increasing the interest and participation in randonneuring within Wisconsin.
Come out and give randonneuring in southwestern Wisconsin and try and see what Randonneurs USA is all about!
