Starved Rock Cycling Association holds regular rides every week. From casual/leisure rides to “almost” competitive rides. They vary in distance, speed and locations. Below is the list of rides with categories to help you decide which ride you may want to participate in. You can always email us.
We ride, not because we have to but because of how it makes us feel. While riding, we find independence, forge life-long friendships, rise to meet challenges, and discover who we are and what we are capable of.
