We will ride North on the McHenry Prairie Bicycle Trail from Crystal Lake to Richmond and back. This is a paved trail so any bike will work. This trail runs north-south next to a set of Metra railroad line train tracks. There are small rolling hills and wonderful views of open land on this trail.
If 30 miles is too long, it is an up and back, so you can do as many as you like. We can stop for lunch in Richmond if the group would like. In the past we have had wonderful burgers at a bar in Richmond. Remember plenty of water as it's supposed to be warmer on Saturday
