We’ll roll out from camp\, pass one of the region’s beautiful waterfalls\, and make two stops along the way to snorkel and explore the river. We’ll eat dinner at Tellico Beach (an iconic burger shack) before riding back to camp for the night. Expect a mostly paved route with some gravel\, steady climbing\, and plenty of time built in to enjoy the water\, wildlife\, and scenery. \nRide Capacity: 12 Riders. Register here. \nDate: September 19th — September 20th\, 2026 \nMeet Up: Plan to meet up at North River Campground at 10am. \nWheels Down: North River Campground at 10:30am. \nDistance: 31.2 mi. \nElevation: 1674 ft. \nAverage Pace: 8-10 mph. \nLink to Routes: Tellico Bike + Fish Fieldtrip. \nMinimum Bike Requirements: Riders should bring a bike in good working order that has been recently serviced. We will not be able to provide safety checks or repairs before or during the ride\, so riders should be prepared to be self-sufficient on the route. This ride is mostly paved\, but includes gravel sections\, and riders should be able to comfortably carry their own overnight snorkel gear. The route starts and ends at the campground\, so you will not need to carry camping equiptment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is part of Bikepacking Root’s Community Event Calendar\, where we share bikepacking events across the US and Canada.

Please indicate your interest in the order questionnaire. Gear use is first-come\, first-served\, but we strive to accommodate all requests. \nResources\, such as trained guides and bikes for youth with disabilities\, are available. Please contact us if you are interested. \nLodging: We will tent camp at the Camp Sullivan campground; a cabin is available in case of inclement weather. \nPace: 7-10 mph. We won’t leave anyone behind. \nTrail/Route: Paved road or trail with minimal crushed-limestone portions. \nAge: All families are welcome! \nRiders with disabilities: Resources\, such as trained guides and bikes for youth with disabilities\, are available. Please contact us if you are interested. \nTrip Description\nExplore the beauty of our extensive forest preserves in the Southwest Burbs! First\, we will ride through the southside neighborhoods of Brainerd\, Beverly\, and Mt. Greenwood\, then hit the Cal Sag Trail\, and then finish on the forest preserve trails. We will take plenty of breaks along the route\, including a picnic stop\, before arriving at Camp Sullivan. \nBecause our rides celebrate this beautiful corner of the earth we call home\, we acknowledge the many people who have lived here before us\, including the Council of the Three Fires–comprised of the Ojibwe\, Odawa\, and Potawatomi Nations–as well as the Miami\, Ho-Chunk\, Menominee\, Sac\, Fox\, Kickapoo\, and Illinois Nations. OOFD seeks to promote Indigenous perspectives in all we do. This ride is a celebratory expression of this goal. We have much to learn (and unlearn) and hope you will join us on this journey. \nWhat’s Included\n\nCampsite and firewood\nFood: Day 1 dinner\, Day 2 breakfast and lunch\nEducation about our local history and nature\nWelcoming and supportive guides\n\nWhat’s Not Included\n\nFood: Day 1 lunch\nSnacks during the ride to camp\nBowls\, cups\, spoons\, forks – Please bring your own to avoid waste.\n\nAdding a Donation to Your Ticket Price to Support Other Families\nThe majority of the ticket price covers the campsite\, food\, and supplies. OOFD is mostly volunteer-run\, and the guides are all volunteers. Please consider this when checking out. We welcome donations to help keep our ticket prices low and our organization radically inclusive. \nAbout the Guides\nOur guides are part of a community of volunteers that believe in adventure and helping others find adventure right out our front door. They exude a welcoming\, supportive\, and inclusive spirit which are foundational values at OOFD. They have love and appreciation for their home and like sharing knowledge about that home with others\, thus helping the riders to develop a stronger sense of gratitude for our local history and nature. \nThe guides will be set with the route and an extensive script about the area you’ll be riding through with intentionally chosen breakpoints along the way. \nThey are more than someone to follow on the ride. They are trained and will be there to encourage and support you as well as support with mechanicals that may arise. \nTransfer/Refund/Cancellation Policy\nParticipant Cancellation: No Refunds. By registering\, you acknowledge and agree there will not be a refund if you cancel or do not show up for the event. Tickets cannot be resold. \nTransfers: You can transfer three days before the event. You can only transfer to an event in the same calendar year. Fill out this transfer form at least three days before your ride departs\, and we will follow up in a week or less with instructions on how to register for your new event. Contact us if you have any issues. \nOrganizer Cancellation: Full Refund | Nobody wants an event to be canceled. In the rare circumstance the organizer cancels the event at their discretion\, registered participants will receive a full refund. To date\, this organization has canceled minimal events. \nWeather and Rain: We do not cancel an event for rain\, storm\, or any other weather. We ride rain or shine. Chicago weather is typically passing\, if the weather requires\, we will pause the ride and wait in a sheltered space then continue biking. Some of the best views of the lake and greenery on the trails are after a rainstorm. \nRadical Inclusivity and Non-Discrimination Agreement\nThis is included in your registration form. Showing up with a welcoming and inclusive spirit is crucial and expected of everyone that rides with us. \nBike Camping Packing Checklist and Tips\n  \n  \n\nThis event is part of Bikepacking Root’s Community Event Calendar\, where we share bikepacking events across the US and Canada.
