About this event

Elmhurst, Batavia, Aurora, Oswego Romeoville, Burr Ridge, Oak Brook, Elmhurst. I'm resurecting this route from my Ironman days. This one is a blast. This ride is primarily on roads, but there is a section from Batavia to Aurora where we will ride the Fox River paved path. We will also be on the centennial trail from Romeoville to Bur Ridge. I've thrown in a spin arounf the infamous Bluff Road loop. This will be optional for riders that are not mosochists. Stops will be Batavia McDonalds, Oswego Park, 7-11, as needed.
We will focus on hydration and nutrition along the ride. This will be excellent training for the upcoming 200 mile ride. Rain Cancels, No Drops, Bring Nutrition to constantly fuel through the ride. I expect to complete this ride with a rolling average between 16 and 17 mph. The country roads and lack of traffic will raise our average speed.
