Event Description: Join us for a 43 mile breakfast ride in the south suburbs of Chicagoland. We’ll ride our tandems to the small town of Elwood (Made famous from The Blues Brothers movie with Dan Ackroyd’s portrayal of Elwood J. Blues) and stop at the Silver Dollar Restaurant (eatbetterpancakes.com). The route is primarily low traffic county roads. There will be several opportunities along the way for bathroom breaks if needed. We’ll need to give the restaurant an accurate headcount, so please RSVP.

Event Start Location: Breidert Green Park - 10 S White St, Frankfort, Illinois, 60423

RWGPS Files: Using the RWGPS graphic shown below:
- If there is more than one route associated with the event (for example, two distances), click the box at the bottom of the graphic for the route you desire to view. If there is only one route, these boxes will not be present.
- To download cuesheets and all file formats (FIT, TCX, and GPX), click the “View Full” link at the bottom of the graphic for multi-route events or the “View Full Version” link at the top of the graphic for single route events. You will then be taken to the route’s RWGPS page. Once on the RWGPS page, click “More” in the upper left corner. A drop-down menu appears allowing you to “Export as File” (which opens a box for you to select FIT, TCX, or GPX). The drop-down menu also has options to “Print Map and Cue PDF” or just “Print Cuesheet.”
- The “Download” link at the bottom of the graphic (for multi-route events) or the “Send to Device” link at the top of the graphic (for single route events) will allow you to download a route file, but this method usually defaults to TCX format if you select Garmin Edge. If you desire FIT or GPX formats, click the “View Full” link.

IMPORTANT - DO NOT DOWNLOAD FILES UNTIL A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE RIDE AS THE ROUTE MAY BE UPDATED PRIOR TO THEN !!!
