Huge thanks to everyone who came out for our Windy City cycling ride planning meeting and social. It was an awesome mix of longtime members and new, club-curious faces, and the energy was exactly what we’re all about.

Great conversations, big plans for the 2026 season, and plenty of rides to look forward to. Add in great pizza, cold Begyle beers, and some unseasonably perfect weather, and it really couldn’t have been better.

If you missed it, don’t worry, there’s a lot more to come. Let’s make 2026 our best season yet.

The routes are set, the maps are prepped, and the beer is cold! Join the Windy City Cycle Club at Begyle Brewery for a social mixer designed to get you ready for the road.

This isn’t a planning meeting—it’s a “where to next?” celebration. If you’re curious about joining our group, this is the perfect low-pressure way to meet the people leading the pack.

Whether you’re a longtime WCCC member or just club-curious and wondering what we’re all about, this is the perfect chance to connect, hang out, and meet some great people who love bikes and good company.

What’s on tap:
• Meet the Leaders: Put a face to the name of our ride captains.
• The 2026 Reveal: We’ll be sharing the details on our upcoming schedule, from casual coffee crawls to sunset sprints.
• Pro-Tips: Chat with seasoned members about their favorite Chicago shortcuts and gear must-haves.

Feel free to invite friends who might be interested, and swing by for as long (or as short) as you’d like. We’d love to see you there!

✨ WCCC Year-End Celebration! ✨

What an incredible season we wrapped up! This past weekend, we celebrated the miles, memories, and community that made 2025 unforgettable. From countless weekend rides to riding trips in Madison, Tucson, Palm Springs, and beyond — every adventure reminded us why we love riding together. 🚴‍♂️🌄🌴

Now we’re looking ahead and getting excited to plan an amazing 2026 season!

Cheers to the WCCC family — thanks for an amazing year!
💙🤍

🚴‍♂️ Looking for a bicycling-related activity as the weather cools off?

Check out the PBS special From Rails to Trails — narrated by Edward Norton.

This inspiring documentary tells the story of one of the most unlikely social movements in American history: the fight to transform thousands of miles of abandoned railroads into trails for cycling and walking.

Facing fierce opposition and legal challenges from private property owners, passionate advocates reclaimed these forgotten corridors for the public — creating today’s national network of scenic, car-free trails. 🌳🚲

From Rails to Trails The story of a 60-year struggle to convert abandoned railroads into trails for cycling and walking.

🍂 October WCCC Social at North End Bar! 🍻
The rides might be slowing down, but the social connections are still going strong! Join us Thursday, October 23, from 6:30–8:30 PM at North End Bar for our October social. It’s a great way to catch up with fellow riders, meet new members, and learn more about the club.

🚴‍♂️✨ Come for the camaraderie, stay for the stories — we’ll see you there!

Perfect day for a ride to Fort Sheridan! ☀️
Still feels like summer out there — small group, strong riders, and plenty of sunshine to go around. 🌞🚴‍♂️💪

What a great evening at Dovetail Brewing 🍻 celebrating the end of summer (but definitely not the end of riding!). Over 20 WCCC members came out to catch up, and the conversations were so good we only snapped one photo—of the last five standing. Cheers to more rides, more laughs, and more toasts ahead! 🚴‍♂️✨

🌞🚴‍♂️ Sunday sunshine, coffee time 🚴‍♀️🌞
A great mix of longtime WCCC members and a few new riders joined today’s spin up to Highland Park. Nothing beats coffee and muffins in the sun after a strong ride!

The weather was perfect, the company even better — exactly how Sunday rides should be. 💙

✨ Wow, what a perfect August night with an amazing group of cyclists! 🚴‍♂️🍸 The weather was spot on, the company was fantastic, and Koval kept us refreshed with some great cocktails.
