What we’re about
McHenry County Bicycle Club (MCBC) Outdoors, founded in 1981, offers year-round activities beyond cycling. We welcome all to bike, hike, and kayak in the great outdoors with us!
- Easy Riders: Short, leisurely routes.
- Intermediate Cyclists: Moderate pace, 20-40 miles.
- Fast-Paced Group: Aggressive speeds and distances.
- Trail and Gravel riding: get a full-body workout on gravel
- Kayaking: Join us on the waters 1-2 times per month.
Riding Season: Road and trail rides on weekends and weekday mornings/evenings, with email notifications sent to members. Most rides include food stops and socializing.
Kayaking: Weekend floats on the various waters from the Busse Woods to the Fox River and the Chain o' Lakes.
Seasonal Activities: After we end biking we start hiking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing in winter. Annual events include a year-end banquet, winter picnic, and June meetings with guest speakers.
Safety: We advocate wearing helmets, maintaining bikes, and obeying traffic laws. We support Rails to Trails Conservancy, Ride Illinois, PADS, and Project Mobility.
