Anyone know of any fun/non-competitive bike events in Illinois? Or any sites? Thanks:)
I'm north of you and use Mike Bentley's site. He is mostly Illinois
http://www.mikebentley.com/bike/mwrides.htm
Oh, look, you get your own page of ride information
http://www.mikebentley.com/bike/ilrides.htm
If you're close to the border, look at rides near Sharon, WI. Sharon is the home of former RAAM riders Lon Haldeman and Susan N[long Italian name]. They "give back" to the community with some well-run, very low key rides (e.g., Round'a Manure).
trailnet.org has several, but they're in the southeastish part of the state, within an hour or so of St. Louis, MO.
I'll second the Mike Bentley site.
You could also check out this site from Chicago Athlete:

And if you're anywhere near the Chicago area, the Evanston Bike Club has rides of all abilities and distances. Here's their site:

And there's also the Chicago Cycling Club:

The always fun an enjoyable L.A.T.E Ride, downtown Chicago every year.

I'm going to this ride - bit of a drive for you too.

It does seem you've missed the World Naked Bike Ride in Chicago. :D
League of Illinois Bicyclists also posts rides, see http://www.bikelib.org
Also, check out League of Illinois Bicyclists (LIB) website for additional list of biking events.
