Finally riding a big boys bike
Join us Sunday, April 22, 2018 at 11:00 AM for Spring Fox River Trail Ride & Barbeque in scenic Oswego, IL. We'll kick off our Spring season by riding the Trail from Oswego to Geneva, where we'll have a great photo opportunity in front of the historic B.F. Goodrich Tire and Auto store front on Main Street. Added to the fun is that this will be a combined ride with the Chicago Ballooners and the Chicago Taildragger Groups.
We'll meet to socialize at Joel & Gilly's house, located at 4810 Mill Road, Oswego, at 11 AM. There is plenty of room for parking and a long, paved driveway for our bikes. We'll head out on our ride at 12 Noon and take the short, half mile ride on US Hwy 31 to the beginning of the Fox River Trail in Oswego. Once on the Trail, we'll head north for an easy, mostly flat, paved path (90% of the Trail is paved, dedicated path, 10% is village/city streets) from Oswego, through historic downtown Aurora, along the famous Batavia Vintage Windmill Park, and into lovely Geneva for our picture opportunity (13.9 miles each way). The Trail follows the Fox River and there are many local bike shops conventiently located next to the path to help out if needed.
Once we are back at Joel & Gilly's, we'll fire up the grill and cook out brats, dogs, and burgers. Joel & Gilly will provide the meats, potato salad, beans, condiments and platewear. BYOB is encouraged and people can bring adult beverages if they like. All are encouraged to bring their bag chairs, etc.
Our Rain Date will be Sunday, May 6, 2018, same times. Please refrain from last second cancellations, if possible, as Joel & Gilly will be purchasing the food on Friday, April 21st.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone on Sunday, April 22nd!!
