The North Branch Trail snakes along the North branch of the Chicago River all the way up to the Chicago Botanic Garden in Glencoe.  For those interested in pre-lunch victuals, we’ll meet at the Lakefront path and Bryn Mawr at 8:30am, eating on the way, and meeting the rest of the group at 10am at Bunker Hill.  After having lunch and spending some time at the Botanic Garden, we’ll ride back to the city, go to Big Chicks, and party!  There is secure parking for your bike.  The more the merrier!  Total distance is about 50 miles.  Meet in the parking lot just off Caldwell 1 mile North of Devon.

This is a fundraising event where we'll recruit new WCCCers and celebrate with current members. For a dollar donation, we’ll affix a tag with the WCCC logo on people as they come through the door at Big Chicks for the weekly Sunday Barbecue.  We’ll offer information about the club and try to sign up people who are interested.

We're off to glorious Wisconsin to the mountain biking mecca of the Chicago area, Kettle Morraine. The John Muir trail has leg-burning climbs and harrowing descents amid a lush forest backdrop. Five different trails good for 21 miles cater to all ability levels. If the trail isn't climbing or descending, it might be zigzagging through rows and rows of pine trees.  If you want to get in some mountain biking this summer but haven't had a chance, be sure to join us. 

Length of ride is about 3½ hours. Please be sure to bring a large water container. Drive from Chicago is about 2 hours.  To get there, head north on I-94 for about 55 miles to Route 50. Exit heading west and drive about 25 miles to U.S. Highway 12. Turn north on 12 and stay on it about 13 miles til County Highway H. Turn right at the General Store heading north, and drive about 2 miles to the parking lot on your left. It's a big parking lot, so we'll meet at the water fountain. Ride starts at 11:00.  Wisconsin requires vehicle stickers (daily $7) & trail passes (ind. daily $3).  Rain date is October 1.Please check the hotline before 8:00am in the event of a cancellation.
