This is a free event! Join the annual gaggle of Hyde Parkers - both novices and enthusiasts alike, for this super fun ride in Joliet, Illinois. While the full event is about 100km, it's easy enough to cut the course a bit shorter. Ride with friends, or challenge yourself with a faster group! The course is somewhat technical but easy enough to complete on a traditional road bike, an old hybrid, or ideally: a cyclocross/gravel bike. There is a rest stop on course, and the vibe is very casual and inviting.
