Attn. Central Illinois Bent Riders
I am planning an informal ride starting from LeRoy, IL, which is 20
miles southeast of Bloomington-Normal, this Saturday, Aug. 16th. The start time is negotiatable, whatever works for the most riders. Route and distance is also negotiatable. If anyone in the Central Illinois area just wants to get together for a ride and some enjoyable fellowship, email me and we will get something set up. My wife and I will be riding Saturday anyway and it would be great to meet some new friends and to get some old ones together again. All riders, of all skill levels, are welcome. This is an unsupported ride for the pure fun of riding. Harry Jiles |

I will ride both days, if there is interest, and if there aren't thunderstorms or torrential downpours. I don't mind a little rain but drenching rain and lightning aren't my favorites! Harry, It only rains when I plan the ride. Tom Sherman - Quad Cities USA (Illinois side) |

[1] One of the more attractive areas in East Central Illinois to ride, if I may immodestly say so. [1] So called by Mike Stern in an article in RCN. I just did one of my favorite routes this evening. It is a loop along the top of the glacial moraine which runs from just north of LeRoy to several miles east of Saybrook. It has all that Tom mentions. Another such route is one Tom, himself, put together and follows the North Fork of the Salt Creek, from LeRoy to the North Fork boat access at Clinton Lake, and back. This one is always great but is really nice in the fall, when the leaves are showing color. We can do either of these, or both, this weekend. Harry |

Mike Haggerty and myself are meeting at tomorrow morning, 8/16, at
Woody's truck stop in LeRoy, to do a ride. There might be a couple of ohers show up. also. We will either ride Tom Sherman's loop to Clinton Lake NFA and back or north to Moraine View State Park and then east, along the moraine, and back. We can get lunch at Woody's after the ride. If anyone else wants to show up, they are certainly welcome. The plan is to start by 9:00 am. Harry |
