Rock River in Rockford
August 2, 2025
10:00 AM

Let's ride along the Rock River and through town to Rock Cut State Park. We'll start near the botanic gardens on the river and ride uphill to the state park (mostly downhill on the return). A couple hills. All paved, about 25 miles round trip.

We may be able to catch some of the water ski show competition on the river. (Think something like the old Tommy Bartlett water ski show in the Dells.)

Casual ride. No one left behind.
Please arrive 15 minutes early to prepare.
Reminders: Helmets are expected safety gear. Bike must 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.

Starting Location:
Nicholas Conservatory (1354 N Second St, Rockford) I-90 to Business Rt 20/State Street west. North/right on Prospect. Left/west on Ethel. Cross 2nd Street into the park.


Distance: 25 miles
Average Speed: 10-12 mph
Leader: Wayne (heinmiller.il@prodigy.net)
