the RAMBLE begins at the Kenosha County Fairgrounds in Wilmot, Wisconsin. The available route choices are 12, 30, 50, 70, or 100 miles. The 12-mile route is family friendly with limited hills. All routes have SAG support and our famous rest stops are included. The 28th Annual BCLC RAMBLE pedals its way over rural roads, which traverse the scenic lakes region of northeastern Illinois and southeastern Wisconsin. The terrain is flat to rolling. Just for the fun of it, we threw in some rollercoaster hills and a challenging climb or two. The BCLC RAMBLE is a recreational ride, not a race. Riders of all capabilities are encouraged to participate and enjoy the scenery, good food, and fellowship offered at the ride.

Join us in our 9th year Rib Ride. We ride the Fox River Trail from Elgin to Algonquin and back. At the halfway point, we stop in at The Texan restaurant for ribs,beer, and not to forget...coleslaw.
We are all self supported on this ride. Bring your own money and bicycle supplies. There will be enough people to help but most repairs outside of a flat would probably require a professional. There are 2 bike shops along the route, one at the halfway point and the other a few miles north of there.

The Swedish Days ride is one of the premier century rides in the Chicagoland area. The Fox returms this year to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Swedish Days ride.
The start/finish point is behind Central High School, near Burlington, Illinois (44W625 Plato Road, Hampshire, IL 60140 for Internet maps). From here all routes travel the quiet and scenic paved roads of rural Kane County. There is still only one stop light; even on the double metric route. The terrain is mostly flat, with an occasional hill. There are frequent rest stops, which will be stocked with beverages and various selections of fruits, breads, and homemade cookies
