Full moon ride - April 2026 -- Rolling out at 9pm🌛🚲🚲🚲
69 S Riverside Dr, Elgin, IL, USIt's the Full Moon Ride -- Pink Moon!
*** Please note: We are now meeting up between 830p and 845p and starting the ride at 9pm. We are trying to be mindful of the next day. Rides are typically 60-70 minutes long. If you are in need of air or other bike adjustments, please come early. We will have equipment on hand for minor repairs and air. ***
This will be a moderate pace ride for 7 to 9 miles throughout the core neighborhoods of Elgin. Join us for this social night ride!
Reminder: Illinois State law requires bike riders to have a clear light on the front and a red reflector or a red light on the back for night time riding. That would be the minimum attempt for safety, so let's all be easy to see on the street.
