NEW RIDE

Posted on June 14, 2022 by Randy Senneff

I, (Al Wenninger) am starting a new organized ride called the Eastside River Group. Due to high gas prices, several riders have asked for this ride and it will not be in conflict with Russell’s Thursday Woman’s Ride. This ride will mainly be on the Eastside of the Illinois River on Wednesdays. Rides will be out of Washington, Mackinaw, Eureka, Morton, Metamora and East Peoria.

Please let me know if you want your name added to this ride list.

Rides will start at 8AM sharp. No drop rides around 35 to 40 miles.

Level 1/ Level 2 rides with one stop around halfway
