Is there any interest in doing the Northwest Illinois
Century Ride again in September, this year?
This ride is on low traffic roads, which are
scenic and hilly. Wouldn't you love the challenge
of climbing Binkley Hill?
Find out what others have said about their experience
by reading past comments in www.BikeJournal.com thread from last September
titled: Northwest IL. Century-Any interest?
I've had several indicating to me that they would
like to do this ride again. I would like to put the
question out for all, to see if there is enough interest
to make this a go for Saturday, Sept. 20th 2008.
The routes would remain the same; with the exception
of the Sunday morning Breakfast ride. If there is enough
interest and people stay for this ride; the breakfast route
would be shortened.
Ride Description:
This ride takes you through a few small, quaint towns and villages in 3 counties:
Stephenson, JoDaviess and Carroll counties.
These roads are low-traffic and somewhat hilly!
Yep, there are several rollers and some with spectacular views.
Binkley hill is one that is very challenging which has a 15% grade.
For those of you who do not want to do a century, there are other available shorter options.
A 70 mile route and a 30 mile route.
The ride begins at the YMCA, located at the Highland Community College Campus in Freeport Illinois.
Are you ready to ride this wonderful Century with us?
Come join the fun and challenge. See ya there!
