Far Westside Slow Roll - July 🚲🚲🚲
Plank Road Tap Room, 39W149 Plank Rd, Elgin, IL, USIn a special collaboration series with Plank Road Tap Room, we're slow rolling on the far west side of Elgin. This ride will meet at Plank Road Tap Room at 11am, and we'll roll at 11:30am. Total mileage for the ride will be 8-10 miles at a social pace.
While the ride distance and speed will feel familiar to ECB riders, we will have some short distances on country road context. With PRTR's Sunday's being family friendly through the summer, we are happy to welcome riders of all ages on these rides that will feel comfortable with the distance and ride locations.
All riders must complete an 2026 annual Ride Participation Waiver at https://waiver.fr/p-r6V5h. Each person needs to fill this out once for all 2026 ECB rides.

Thursdays Are For Riding!
69 S Riverside Dr, Elgin, IL, USThursdays are for Riding
We’re back at it! Welcome everyone to the weekly bike ride we like to call, “Thursdays are for Riding.” We will be out and about exploring Elgin and possibly its surrounding areas. This will be more of an “adulting” experience as a stop at a local watering hole or beer garden might happen to fall across our path. This is a community ride where all are welcome. However, keep in mind that we go at a faster pace than other social rides, like the full moon ride.
Make sure you fill out the waiver, and remember you only have to fill it out once a year. https://waiver.fr/p-r6V5h.
** Ride safely!Los jueves son pa’ ir a rodar!
¡Ya estamos de vuelta! Bienvenidos todos al paseo semanal en bici que nos gusta llamar «Los jueves son pa rodar». Saldremos a explorar Elgin y posiblemente sus alrededores. Esta experiencia es más para adultos ya una parada en algĂşn local o jardĂn con cerveza se nos podrĂa cruzar en el camino. Se trata de un recorrido comunitario en el que todos son bienvenidos. Sin embargo, tenga en cuenta que vamos a un ritmo más rápido que otros paseos sociales, como el paseo de la luna llena.
Asegúrate de rellenar la renuncia (el “waiver”) y recuerda que sólo tienes que rellenarla una vez al año. https://waiver.fr/p-r6V5h.

Full moon ride - July 2026 -- Rolling out at 9pm🌛🚲🚲🚲
69 S Riverside Dr, Elgin, IL, USIt's the Full Moon Ride -- Buck Moon!
*** Please note: We are now meeting up between 830p and 845p and starting the ride at 9pm. We are trying to be mindful of the next day. Rides are typically 60-70 minutes long. If you are in need of air or other bike adjustments, please come early. We will have equipment on hand for minor repairs and air. ***
This will be a moderate pace ride for 7 to 9 miles throughout the core neighborhoods of Elgin. Join us for this social night ride!
Reminder: Illinois State law requires bike riders to have a clear light on the front and a red reflector or a red light on the back for night time riding. That would be the minimum attempt for safety, so let's all be easy to see on the street.
If you have not signed the 2026 annual ride waiver, please do so at: https://waiver.fr/p-r6V5h.
