Our routes cover a large area from Union, IL and north to Delavan Lake, Lake Geneva and Silver Lake, WI and everything in between. They vary in length from 20 to 40 miles long and are at the shorter range in early season. Start times are prompt. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the posted time.

All of our routes have links to RideWithGPS and will be posted with each new announcement. The routes include a rest break in a park that has restroom access. Helmets are mandatory. Some of our routes have an optional restaurant stop mid-ride. Our start points have restroom access.

We usually get a group of about a dozen MCBC official club members on our Saturday rides, although they respond on our private club email and you will not see their responses on this site. For more information see our website: ***https://www.mchenrybicycleclub.org***
