The riders are expected to tackle the hills at their own pace and comfort as we will regroup at predetermined spots. The mid ride break is at a gas station. Please, bring a mask for the break and water and snacks. The start location is the Starbucks located in the downtown Clarendon Hills. Please, park in the METRA parking lot two blocks north of the Starbucks.

I‘ll lead a ride west to Fermi Lab. Instead of going in, we‘ll turn around at the gate and take a mid-ride rest stop at the McDonalds / Shell station at Batavia Road and Rt 59. McDonalds will be closed for indoor dining, so expect to use the facilities at the neighboring Shell station. Lots of sprints on this traditional EBC route.

Cherry Blossoms at the Museum of Science and Industry are in full bloom and don‘t want to miss them. Plus new outdoor artwork want to see. And of course the Flyover and a possible quick Hot dog. Parking at Recreation drive is free until Memorial Day. If rain cancels will do ride most likely Friday instead.

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.
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 quick early morning ride from Elmhurst to Lombard and back. No stops, optional sprints for those who want to ride faster, bring water and working lights on your bicycle. Potential to split into a faster and slower group depending on who shows up. Contact me if questions. Rain cancels
