Who would like to go for a bike ride by some beautiful restored prairie and woodlands along the Mackinaw River this summer? ParkLands will be hosting our 9th annual bike ride on July 18, 2026. Won’t you join us and support the ParkLands mission of preserving prairie and forest habitat along the Mackinaw making it one of the cleanest rivers in Illinois?
We will have a 20 and 50 mile route as well as a 100 kilometer ride. These routes will go alongside some of our properties and can be downloaded to the Ride With GPS app. The ride will be supported with strategically placed rest stops along the routes. There will be a bike mechanic at the start of the ride. An email regarding safety and updates will be sent to registrants before the date of the event. Helmets are required while riding.
Early bird registration is $40 for the ride for members and $45 for non-members. Registration after July 4 is $50. EACH RIDER MUST REGISTER A SEPERATE TICKET IN THEIR NAME.
A huge thank you to our sponsors!
