Fitness Ride: Thorn Creek Trails

We have A LOT of riding to do this summer!!
So, we have started training NOW for longer rides!

This fitness ride is for cyclists with group and trail navigating experience.
Whether you are an advanced road cyclist, trail rider, mountain bike aficionado.....BE READY!

No frills, no dancing, no tricks, just RIDING for conditioning so your outside ride will be AWESOME.
We will do sprints, intervals, hills, grinds, pace rides all outdoors on a favorite Cook County Forest Preserves Thorn Creek Trail System, starting at SAUK and Riding to JOE ORR Woods and back.
The trail is PAVED 90% of the way. We will be crossing through three hilly paths, neighborhoods, and trails.
BRING: WATER (Extra water for post-ride), BUG SPRAY, SUN SCREEN, HELMET, and if the weather is steamy, gloves, hat and post-ride SNACK.
We will do a BIKE CHECK (air pressure and seat adjustments) before we ride, but NO bike repairs. Bike safety and road rules will be followed.
I will be leading this ride for Cook County Forest Preserves*, Conservation and Experiential Programming department so there may be a few new faces from their invites and our Meet-Up groups.*

THIS RIDE IS A FITNESS RIDE, NOT A LEISURE RIDE SO KNOW YOUR LIMITS OR VOW TO STRETCH YOUR CONDITIONING.

The AVE PACE will be 8-9 mph (on straight paths).
Children over 13 accompanied by and adult AND who can keep up with the pace are welcome to attend.

Please familiarize yourself with the logistics of the trails and turn-around points.
