Greetings Spinners,
There were "30" Spinners who invaded the rolling hills of northern Illinois on a beautiful summer day with more tolerant humidity levels.
From Jeff Johnson's group:
15 Cruisers, 26 mile Roscoe Route (see Stateline Spinners Beloit Area Bike Maps on the Spinners website), per policy - "nobody left behind." Average speed of 14
Right now it looks like a very nice day for this coming Tuesday's ride.
PLEASE MAKE AN EFFORT TO COMPLETE THE SURVEY BELOW BECAUSE IT IS CRITICAL THAT THERE IS INPUT ON FUTURE BIKE/PED PATHS & MARKED BIKE LANES IN SOUTHERN WISCONSIN & NORTHERN ILLINOIS. THANKS MUCH
Shown below is an article that appeared in the BDN recently about the Bike/Ped Study that is currently being conducted by our local Municipal Planning Organization also known as SLATS. Several Spinners are on this committee and will be lobbyists for various Bike/Ped issues but anybody can weigh in on the survey that is accessible per info below:

You are highly encouraged to complete the survey and express your thoughts on how to improve the bike/ped system in the Stateline area. Keep in mind that our local MPO (Municipal Planning Organization) encompasses not only Southern Wisconsin but also Northern Illinois excluding Rockford.
Here is the info on some upcoming rides that may be of interest:
The Beloit & Beyond Ride is a great one--very well supported, choose your distance and it is FREE!!!
