Western Burbs of Chicago?

[Sponge]

Hey all,

I live just west of the city in Westchester and work in Naperville. Off and on for a few years I have been riding with the Spokes group in Wheaton. They are top notch! They have absolutely great rides and are a great group of people.

However I am looking for more options...something that is more along the lines of training for events and such. I am not in shape for racing (yet) but would like to either get there for bike races or sprint tri's...maybe more? Only time will tell...

If anyone has some suggestions of groups or clubs or if some of you would like to meet up with me to begin training together drop me a line!

Thanks,
Shad

I might be able to help you train for competetive drinking events....

We have a pretty large and relaxed crew that gets together in the West, West burbs. Mostly all of our riding takes place west of Randall ...kind of in the 47 corridor. Lots of open roads.

Keep your eyes open for BFNIC ride threads. They will be starting soon. If we're too slow then we can point you in the right direction. DeKalb rides with Spin Doctors out of Bartlett. Their group rides are out in our area. They can help you train to be sure....;)

Read some threads in this regional forum about BFNIC and you'll see what some of us are like.

Sounds great thanks!

I am too well trained on the competitive drinking...hence why I need to loose about 15! After being around this site I guess I am a Clydesdale. Which makes sense...I am from St. Louis orginally and a die hard Cards fan.

I am out in Will County, just south of Naperville, in Plainfield, but pretty much ride solo. Just me and the evil wind on some wide open roads. We do have several little BFNIC rides like Psi stated and they are a blast. Later.
