Chicago Recumbent Riders: Northwest DuPage County Trail Loop
From publicly posted calendar Checked yesterday
About this event
One of 7 upcoming events at Cosmic Bikes Inc..
A rare loop ride: 25-plus miles without retracing our steps!! We’ll link together sections of three scenic rail trails in northwest DuPage County: Illinois Prairie Path Elgin Branch, Geneva Spur, and the Fox River Trail. The ride offers a great mix of natural areas, downtowns with trail amenities, and nature galore. Click here to see our approximate route. Highlights: Large blocks of natural open space along the trail provide corridors for wildlife movement and seed dispersal, and fosters a refuge for breeding populations of animals, such as sandhill cranes, herons and turtles. This land contains the remnants of one of the most diverse natural systems that ever graced the Illinois landscape, the tall grass prairie and its associated communities. Details: On Sunday, October 18 we’ll meet at Timber Ridge Forest Preserve parking located at 1N600 County Farm Rd, West Chicago, IL 60185. As usual, we’ll meet at 9:45, for a 10am departure. (See map and screenshot for location.) From here, we’ll ride the short connector trail to the IPP. Ride end time is approximate. Riding distance about 25 miles Facilities available trailside. Ride at your own risk
