Join us to enjoy the Millennium Trail near Wauconda. (This ride was rained out last month)
The Millennium Trail is a good quality crushed limestone to Singing Hills, and is paved from there to Fairfield Park in Round Lake (disc golf course) where we'll turn around. Much of it runs through Lake County Forest Preserves. It is not a rail trail. It is mostly flat with some gently rolling hills and one or two moderate hills. It is mostly open with a couple of shady spots to stop for a break. The weather is expected to be milder (mid-50's in the morning) so an open trail and clouds should be OK.
We'll ride about 12 miles out and back (total ~25 miles). (You can always turn around at Singing Hills for about 13 miles, or sooner if you prefer.)
Forecast says there might be some rain in the area this weekend. I'll update by 7 AM Saturday morning if it looks like it will be wet.
Please arrive 15 minutes early to prepare.
Reminders: Helmets are expected safety gear. 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.
Starting Location:
"Winter Sports" parking lot of Lakewood Forest Preserve (Take Barrington Road/Rt 59 north to Wauconda. Go right/east on
