Fox River Trail
July 5, 2025
9:00 AM

Many folks will be busy with holiday activities this week, so we're choosing a nearby ride with lots of options. Also a lot of shade because it is expected to be hot. Join me for a ride from Elgin to Crystal Lake on the Fox River Trail/Prairie Trail. We'll turn around at the Crystal Lake gazebo. All paved, mostly flat. Casual ride, no one left behind. We'll wait for the library to open before we leave Elgin so we can take advantage of the restrooms. (Restrooms are also open again in Towne Park in Algonquin.)

Your option to turn around sooner depending on your available time and energy since you can't get lost on the way back. (Turn around in Dundee for 10 miles, or in Crystal Lake for 20 miles.) You can also start with us from the Dundee Depot at about 9:30 AM, giving 20 miles to the gazebo and back.

Watch for possible updates later in the week. We'll cancel if rain is likely or weather looks too hot.

Reminders: Helmets are expected safety gear. Bikes are expected to be in reasonable condition. Guests are welcome to join us for one ride but are expected to join the club for additional rides (insurance requirements). Fountains may be disabled so bring enough water. Please carry emergency contact info.
