Ride to Sycamore, Saturday, 11/3
November 3, 2018
10 am

Join me for a ride on the Great Western Trail from St. Charles to Sycamore
and return. This is a very flat, straight trail. It was an old railroad
line. It is mostly open farmland. Very peaceful. Most of the trail is
limestone, but there is a small part of it that is paved. Once we get to
Sycamore we will get lunch somewhere in town.

Where: Creek Bend Nature Center in Leroy Oakes Forest Preserve, (37W700 Dean
St., St. Charles, IL)
What: Ride the Great Western Trail to Sycamore and return, with a stop for
lunch in Sycamore.
When: Saturday, 11/3, 10 AM (Please arrive 15 minutes early to prepare and
sign in)
How: Casual Speed, no one left behind.

The total distance is about 35 miles. For those who want a shorter ride it
is easy to turn around at any point of your choosing instead of going all
the way to Sycamore. There is no getting lost on this trail.

Directions: From Schaumburg you can take Route 59 south to North Avenue
(route 64). Take Route 64 west (through St. Charles) to Randall Road (by the
fairgrounds). Go north on Randall Road (right turn) about 1/2 mile to Dean
Street (traffic light). Go west (left) on Dean Street about a half mile to
the park. Leroy Oaks will be on the north side (right). We'll meet by the
nature center.

Weather is expected to be cool (50 degrees) and sunny.

Let me know you are coming so we don't leave without you.
