RIDE OPTIONS
* the main ride Sunday, October 11, ride from and return to the Clock Tower. Explore north central Illinois and south central Wisconsin on one of the last good Sundays of the cycling season.
* optional long ride Saturday, October 10, to Rockford from the Prairie Path shops. The ABD van will carry your bags to the Clock Tower. The ride will begin at the Winfield shop, pick up more riders at the Batavia shop (where the van will pick up more gear) and head out to Rockford. (Distance, about 60 miles from Batavia).
* another optional long ride Monday, October 12, from Rockford to Batavia/Winfield, with bag drops at the Batavia and Winfield shops.
There is no fee for the optional long rides and van service. The pace will be comparable to the Monday night recovery rides. There will be re-fueling stops along the way. Riders should bring some spending money, and your favorite ride fuel.

PARTY
* ABD has rented a hospitality room, where you will be served a continental breakfast (Sunday morning, Monday morning).
* Saturday night potluck and Sunday night cookout in local parks.
* a small fee is added to your room reservation to help with these expenses. All Club members and attending guests must pre-register and pay that fee to participate in the meals.

ROOMS
The Clock Tower has an indoor water park. One of the lodging options includes 4 passes to the park. This incredible deal makes a great option for those with non-cycling family or significant others.

* A Room + 4 Water Park passes costs $145/night (tax included). [$72.50 each/night for 2; $36.25 each/night for 4]
