I would like to invite my fellow lady riders to join us for this great event for a great cause.  Bike Bald is an organization that is organized by a group of "Grassroots" women that for years have been offering to the community organized and fun events to the community to enjoy.  This event is extremely special as we ask you to "Step up & Pedal for Cancer Awareness"...Join us on October 18th for our Large event - "Tweed Ride", where music, celebrities, vintage market, a ride back in time takes place...Bike Bald was founded by a 3x Cancer survivor, that feels the passion along with the team to promote cycling with a cause.  We are extremely convenient to the Naperville Train station.

Four Star Bike & Chow is a fun neighborhood bike tour for all ages, with 4 routes: 12, 20, 40 and 62 miles. Sign up now to ride or volunteer. If you'd like to volunteer AND do the ride, there are pre-event volunteer positions. Route marking volunteers are urgently needed.

Hey Julie!  Yep, I changed the venue to Cottontail Park, start time at 6:00.  I started by inviting just those from our meetup group, but am opening it up to the public, because why not?  I'd love to see any of you there- I'll create a Chainlink event soon to share as well.  I loved the setup you all had at the Dvorak Park event where Anika kind of oversaw and took people for rides, so thanks for the idea!  The park here has a playground, pavillion, and sandbox to keep kids busy while adults can talk and check things out, so I'm thinking everyone can enjoy themselves.
