    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 used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.

    I'll second the Mike Bentley site.

    You could also check out this site from Chicago Athlete:

    http://www.chicagoaa.com/calendar/smu.html

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

    http://evanstonbikeclub.org

    And there's also the Chicago Cycling Club:

    It does seem you've missed the World Naked Bike Ride in Chicago.
