Trip Description

You know you can't wait til April to do another bike camping overnight trip. So join this rad crew and rock that winter bike riding life on a two-day loop leaving from and returning to Chicago. Our guides will give you an in-depth tour of Northwest Chicagoland, as we travel from Ukrainian Village to Deer Grove Forest Preserve. You’ll be pedaling along through memories of mass transit’s past, along beautiful bubbling creeks, witnessing some of the region’s most unique ecologies. Wildlife sightings are a near guarantee! You’ll cruise by riverbeds and marvel at the big blue unsalted sea of Lake Michigan. If the weather cooperates, all of this splendor will be draped in a crisp white blanket.

Throughout it all, our guides will be recalling stories of the dreams and plans of Chicago men and women whose modest yet hard work is to thank for the preservation of the Blue Basin’s natural beauty. Take a break from your winter hibernation and venture out with us on a frosty December ride.

You and your bike certainly can make it! Celebrate a winter’s adventure in the comforts of a heated cabin, with hot dinner and a steamy oatmeal breakfast included. Will I learn something? Will there be community? Will I have Fun? Yes. Yes. and Yes. So celebrate the winter season and meet some new people. All are welcome.

About the Guides

Our guides are part of a community of volunteers that believe in adventure and helping others find adventure right out our front door. They exude a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive spirit which are foundational values at OOFD. They have love and appreciation for their home and like sharing knowledge about that home with others, thus helping the riders to develop a stronger sense of gratitude for our local history and nature.

The guides will be set with the route and an extensive script about the area you’ll be riding through with intentionally chosen breakpoints along the way.

They are more than someone to follow on the ride. They are trained and will be there to encourage and support you as well as support with mechanicals that may arise.
