Illini Chilltm 02º06º10º. -- February Sixth 2010 --

The Chill Is On!
The Ninth Annual Illini Chill Ride will be held in St. Joseph on
Saturday, February 6, 2010. Folks have participated at various levels – from getting the ticket, eating the food and swag, and laughing at people who rode, to "just" doing the 20 miles with the hot
chocolate and reminding your legs what a bicycle is, to riding out
from Champaign, doing the "extra 20 miles for pro-ficient riders,"
and making it an endurance event.
The ride includes a lumberjack breakfast, hot chocolate break and spaghetti lunch, and is held *regardless* of the weather.

Darwin Ride is also "go" the weekend before that - see your upcoming newsletter or click on "contact pcc" for details. You *can* get in some winter miles... (the bike shops are carrying studded tyres, by the way...)

Holiday Party and other assorted happenings!
