We will be riding on the Salt Creek Greenway from Eldridge Park in Elmhurst to Brookfield Zoo and back. The distance is approximately 22 miles round trip. Speed will generally be 10-12 mph. The trail is mostly paved with a very small section on gravel.
We will stop at the zoo entrance for an extended rest stop/bathroom break…..but we will not actually enter the zoo or need to pay an entrance fee. There will also be rest stops along the way. On the return portion of the ride we will stop for lunch, with options being Jason’s Deli or The Protien Bar, or a lunch you bring yourself.
Directions from Schaumburg Area to
Eldridge Park Recreation Building, 363 Commonwealth Lane, Elmhurst:
-Take 290 East
-Exit 83 South
-Merge onto IL56 E/Butterfield Road via the Ramp to IL-38 E Roosevelt Road (then stay on Butterfield-don't actually exit on Roosevelt)
-Turn left on W. Commonwealth Lane (first traffic light you come to) - parking lot is immediately to the right.
The last 1/2 mile getting to Eldridge Park is a little tricky, so pay close attention and use a mobile device to assist if you have one 😊
