SUMMARY:Escape to the Garage with Radical Joy Riding out of Washington D.C.
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”teammateRow”][vc_column width=”1/4″ el_class=”teammateImage”][vc_single_image image=”70932″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” image_hovers=”false”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″ el_class=”teammateDescription”][vc_row_inner el_class=”TeammateContent”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=””] \n\n\n\n\nThe amazing folks at @livefromthegarage.music\, a DIY music venue in Boyds on the back of a 77-acre horse farm\, have invited us to camp on their land and see a show– and of course\, we’re going! \nThe garage is one of the few DIY venues left in our area\, and it’s at risk of getting shut down\, so we’re heading out to show our support. \nThis is an rjr+ event: that means that we’re inviting our cool\, non-wtf+ friends along for the ride as well. \nWe’ll be riding up the C&O from Georgetown\, where we’ll hop off at Riley’s Lock and take the hilly on-road route up to the farm– there will be some brief shoulder (kinda gross) high traffic riding\, but we’ll stay together and take it easy– most paved riding will be quiet roads. \nThe show is from 3-8 pm\, and we’ll be able to set up camp afterwards\, pet some horses\, and call it a night. In the morning\, we’ll roll back to the C&O\, or there will be an option to roll yourself to the shady grove metro. Full round trip is about 60 miles. \nThere will probably be food options\, but pack food just in case\, and bring a way to filter water on the C&O. \nShow details/lineup and petition on @livefromthegarage.music‘s page. Dm for the partiful link or look in our story. \n\n\n\nHere’s a bit about Radical Joy Riding DC: \nNonprofit organization\nA FTW+ community in Washington DC pedaling rides\, skill shares\, open shop nights\, bikepacking trips\, and anything else you can imagine. 💜\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Train O' Lakes 2025 - Adult Overnight with Out Our Front Door out of Chicago\, IL - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”teammateRow”][vc_column width=”1/4″ el_class=”teammateImage”][vc_single_image image=”63835″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” image_hovers=”false”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″ el_class=”teammateDescription”][vc_row_inner el_class=”TeammateContent”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=””] \nRide Specifics\nMileage: Day 1: roughly 100 Miles | Day 2: roughly 2 miles with return on Metra \nSupport: Self supported – you carry all of your own camping gear on your own bike. No vehicle support. \nLodging: Tent (camping gear not provided). We will stay at Chain O’ Lakes State Park (IL DNR) located at 8916 Wilmot Road\, Spring Grove IL 60081 (map). \nPace: 12-15mph \nTrail/Route: Paved road with minimal gravel incorporated and possible snow. \nAge: Adult Ride (21+) \nTrip Description\nAll aboard the Out Our Front Door Express as we trace the historic route of the grand old Roarin’ Elgin – the once-mighty interurban railway that soared along the banks of the Fox River. Setting out from Chicago\, the group will first roll onto the Illinois Prairie Path. The very first Rails to Trails path\, this route connects many scenic suburban towns and villages through its over 61 miles of pavement and gravel. \nRiding west with the early summer sun\, the group will stop for breakfast at the vibrant Wheaton French Market to grab fresh-baked pastries\, local small batch cold brew\, and other delights. Energized and fortified\, the group turn west up the Fox River trail and sail along the riverside through historic towns whose fortunes waxed and waned with the rails. The group will see the Fox River Railway Museum in South Elgin\, ride by windmills in Geneva\, a restored train depot in Batavia\, and maybe stop for BBQ in a converted caboose in Dundee! \nIn between towns\, the group will take a break from the sun as the trail curls through deeply shaded oak forests\, broad freshwater fens\, and stunning stretches of oak savannah. As the summer sun starts to dip low\, the group will leave the Fox River valley behind and travel through the final miles of rolling farmland to arrive at Chain O’Lakes state park. Dinner awaits you on arrival\, along with s’more and story telling around the campfire. \nThis multi-modal adventure will cover approximately 100 miles on the first day. The following morning the group ride a few short miles into Fox Lake to load up a Metra bike car and ride the rails back into Chicago to rest and recover.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
