Come join Pussanee and I for a leisurely Canoe/ Kayak trip down The Kankakee River.

Numerous sandbars along the way are inviting spots for swimming breaks. Average paddling time is 4 to 6 hours. River level is on the low side so we may have to get out and carry the boat over low spots. Call Reeds Canoe and Kayak Rental at 815-932-2663 to reserve your boat. $69 for canoes for 1 or 2 persons. $79 for double kayaks $46 for a single kayak. We will go rain or shine.

This is an highly social, evening ride that has been a Spring, Summer and Fall tradition since August, 2015, ...always rolling at the speed-of-fun. We ride as a team and enthusiastically encourage communication, conversation and laughter. You must have a bike that is trail-ready and has headlights and tail lights. Avoid using retina-burning tail lights, and we try to douse headlights when passing pedestrians and other riders as we ride into growing darkness. We suggest a mountain bike, fat-tire bike, or at least some wide tires. i.e. There may be times on the crushed limestone trails, depending on the weather, where a road bike will not cut it. No rider will ever be left behind. (We are now using 3 walkie-talkie‘s for the Ride Leaders for added safety.) Having said that though, please don‘t show up if your bike is not ready or you are not in athletic condition for this distance and pace. {*NOTE: 10-12 mph on a trail may take the same effort as 13-16 mph on a road, using a road bike. Riding a heavy fat bike or mountain bike requires even still more effort. This is not a beginner ride.} We start in Villa Park but the route may vary from week-to-week. For this pandemic year, we will try to find routes with bathrooms or port-a-potties. (Check the ListServer email before the ride. There has usually been an open bathroom at the ride start.) Please make sure you have followed the guidelines listed elsewhere on our club‘s website for safe riding if you are new to the EBC or the Hustle. Let‘s rock!

Join me for a early morning ride from Elmhurst to Lombard and back. No Stops, Bring water and have working lights on your bicycle. Optional sprints. We will grab a treat after the ride to celebrate Jim‘s birthay!

This year we are going to combine the EBC picnic and the annual awards ceremony for last year’s individual achievements. Normally we hold the awards ceremony indoors in the Spring. But this year we are going to take advantage of an outdoor venue to have a safer, socially distanced gathering of our members. Please register for the picnic by clicking on the Register link to on the listing. Due to the phase 4 restrictions, we will limit the picnic to 50 registrants.

A few notes about this year’s picnic:
1.We are still working on food catering, but will look for an option that is not a typical buffet style (either with a server or individually wrapped items).
2.Feel free to bring your own chairs so we can spread out on the lawn with social distancing.
3.As customary, we will look to ride leaders to post rides for the morning to end around the time of the picnic start time.
4.The main activity will be the awards ceremony which will honor members for their 2019 club participation and involve the handout of T-shirts, patches and ride-leader jerseys.
5.Masks or social distancing is required based on health guidelines. It will be up to each individual to decide how to closely to approach others and when to wear a mask.
6.The picnic is contingent on our region staying in phase 4. If we cannot hold a 50 person gathering due to health restrictions, this event will be canceled.

This is an highly social, evening ride that has been a Spring, Summer and Fall tradition since August, 2015, ...always rolling at the speed-of-fun. We ride as a team and enthusiastically encourage communication, conversation and laughter. You must have a bike that is trail-ready and has headlights and tail lights. Avoid using retina-burning tail lights, and we try to douse headlights when passing pedestrians and other riders as we ride into growing darkness. We suggest a mountain bike, fat-tire bike, or at least some wide tires. i.e. There may be times on the crushed limestone trails, depending on the weather, where a road bike will not cut it. No rider will ever be left behind. (We are now using 3 walkie-talkie‘s for the Ride Leaders for added safety.) Having said that though, please don‘t show up if your bike is not ready or you are not in athletic condition for this distance and pace. {*NOTE: 10-12 mph on a trail may take the same effort as 13-16 mph on a road, using a road bike. Riding a heavy fat bike or mountain bike requires even still more effort. This is not a beginner ride.} We start in Villa Park but the route may vary from week-to-week. For this pandemic year, we will try to find routes with bathrooms or port-a-potties. (Check the ListServer email before the ride. There has usually been an open bathroom at the ride start.) Please make sure you have followed the guidelines listed elsewhere on our club‘s website for safe riding if you are new to the EBC or the Hustle. Let‘s rock!

This is a 4 day 3 night trip with different trails each day. Day 1 Friday - Arrive at motel check-in then drive to Woodward,to bike EB on the High Trestle Bridge to Madrid or a little farther. At twilight we‘ll ride WB over the famous lighted High Trestle Bridge Woodward and parked cars. Day 2 Saturday - Bike the Racoon River Valley Trail Loop. This requires a $2 trail pass as must as they do check riders. The loop is a little longer then we might like, therefore completion is at the discretion of riders. Day 3 Sunday - We‘ll be biking to and around Des Moines and especially the Water Works Park and time permitting the Des Moines botanical garden. Day 4 - Monday Check-out and return to Chicago. BTW, there is a minor trail usage charge for the RRVT of $2/day. Or one could enroll for a year. https://www.dallascountyiowa.gov/services/conservation-and-recreation/conservation/trails-land-and-water Keep in mind the plans are quite loose so we can stop, view, smell the roses and not become too weary to enjoy the experience. The Motel is central to our routes permitting biking and/or driving to various trailheads.
