Wheelmen's Weekly FRIDAY Social Ride

Welcome to our 10AM FRIDAY 33-mile, slower, no-drop social ride. It's one of our 5 off-season SHOW-N-GO rides!

SHOW-N-GO rides run every TUES, THU, FRI, SAT, and SUN during the off-season from November into March. They all start at 10:00 AM, with no host, and usually for a shorter 32ish mile ride. Use this ride to maintain your cycling physical condition during the off-season.
You will ride with whoever shows up for this show-n-go ride. It is very important to RSVP at least on the day before so others can plan to ride with you. The more people RSVP, the more others will tend to RSVP and join the ride.
Make it a practice to RSVP for all four weekly rides the week before. And un-RSVP a ride if your schedule changes. This will help others to organize and ride with you.
Do use the Meetup COMMENT section to further coordinate with others for this specific ride.

Below is the detailed info for this ride:

• START TIME/LOCATION: 10:00AM at Willow Stream Park, Buffalo Grove IL
  Be prepared to show up earlier if you need time to prepare before the ride. The ride will start promptly at the designated time.

• ROUTE: The route will vary depending upon who shows to ride. It's a paved road route. A road bike is recommended. Hybrid/gravel/cross bikes are welcome, just be prepared to ride at the speed of your chosen pace group.
