33miles
27miles

Our start points vary and each new location is posted on the Friday before the ride. Please check this site on Saturday morning in case there is a rain cancelation. Our routes (15-40 miles) cover a large area from the very quiet roads near Union, IL, north to Delavan Lake, Lake Geneva, Silver Lake, WI and the local Crystal Lake, McHenry area. There are always at least 2 ride length options for every ride date, and sometimes a super short of 15 miles.

You will find route links to RideWithGPS posted at the top of each new announcement. Be sure to have a helmut, a tube repair kit, water bottle and a snack (for the mid-ride break). Our experienced riders can help you if you have a flat.

We usually get a group of about a dozen MCBC official club members on our Saturday rides. For more information see our website: https://www.mchenrybicycleclub.org

See you Saturday,
Barb
MCBC Road Ride Coordinator
