Description
Carol Stream Parks Foundation Bike Riding Club, 11 years and still biking strong!
The Carol Stream Parks Foundation Bike Riding Club is comprised of a group of recreational bike riders of all levels who want to explore our unique access to bike trails in DuPage and Kane County. Carol Stream is unique because it has off road trails in every direction, including ones that connect to the Great Western and Prairie Path.
Our club had forty-eight members in 2024 and was established in 2014. Come ride with us!
All rides leave from the Simkus Recreation Center at 6pm on the 2nd Thursday and 9am on the 4th Saturday, starting the end of April through October.
Club members may participate in as many rides as their schedule allows. Thursday ride will be shorter and slower paced around 8-12 miles, while Saturday rides will be longer covering twenty or more miles. When possible, rides will be split into 2 groups (slow and fast). All rides will take place on off-road bike paths. We ride as a group and no rider s are left behind. Our rides include round trip include round trip s to destinations in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, West Chicago, Bartlett, Medinah, Bloomingdale, West Chicago and beyond. Depending on the interest of the group, we are planning multiple Saturday destinations rides with a start/finish location at a nearby point of interest.
In case of inclement weather rides will be cancelled 1-1/2 hours before the scheduled departure via an email vlast.
No experience necessary, bike helmets and light are strongly encouraged. Class 1-E-Bikes are welcome, as long as they follow the park district rules when riding on Carol Stream paths. We must all ride single file, with caution when encountering pedestrians and other riders. Carol Stream Park District does not allow Class 2 and Class3 E-Bikes on their paths. See Carol Stream Park District Ordinance 411 Section 32 for more details.
Registration fees are $30 for individual riders and $45 for families. This fee is tax-0deductible and 100% of the proceeds go directly to the Carol Stream Parks Foundation.
Group Leaders are Larry Driscoll, Charlie Tucek, Jeff Bates and Steve Ravanesi.
