Did you know the country’s very first rail-to-trail conversion happened right in Chicago’s backyard? 🚲✨

Join us for our very first Nature of the Northwest ride as we explore the historic Illinois Prairie Path and the scenic Fox River Trail. Expect lush tree canopies, wide-sweeping curves, pedestrian bridges, and waterfalls!

We’ll kick things off at the Wheaton French Market to fuel up on coffee and pastries before heading west to Geneva, tracing the river north to Elgin for lunch, and looping back to Wheaton. And yes, there’s a highly recommended post-ride hang on the radar!
