CAMBR (http://www.bicyclesetc-il.com/cambr/openingPages/cambr.html) has a great website with trail info and a race calendar.

I ride Deer Grove in Palatine often and I also head down to Palos a bit. Let me know if you'd like to come out for a ride. We have a good group of regulars that shows up at Deer Grove.
