About this event
Bike along the Fox River Trail - Now Sunday Auguust 18, 2024
We will start from Aurora, IL, southern point of the 40-mile Fox River bike trail. Take I88 to Aurora, exit on State Route 31, and drive south to Willis McCullough Park where the Fox River trail starts.
Starting point is at Prisco Community Center located at 150 West Illinois in McCullough Park. We will begin our ride on the west side of the river. There is plenty of parking and restrooms available.
• We will start at the beginning of the Fox River trail in Aurora and bike to the 15-mile point about 20 minutes past the downtown area of St. Charles. There we make our turn for our return back to Aurora for a roundtrip of 30.5 miles.
• We will stop for lunch at or around 12N at Alter Brewing at 12 South First Street in St Charles. They have pleasant outside seating along the Fox River.
• Average pace: 10 – 12 miles.
On the return trip to Aurora from St. Charles, we can make a quick stop at the Fabyan Windmill and the entrance to the Fabyan Villla Museum and Japanese Garden for some historical background facts.
