Chicago Cycling Club Touring Rides
Middle to long-distance CCC rides from 35-60+ miles at 14-20 mph across Chicago and beyond. Great for fit cyclists wanting structured weekend mileage with company.
The vibe
Distance with good company
The Chicago Cycling Club’s Touring rides sit in the middle ground between social cruising and competitive training — 35 to 60+ miles at 14–20 mph with fewer stops than the Social rides. The pace is moderate to fast, the distances are real, and the experience is a genuine workout without the aggressive dynamics of the Training category.
Open to all cyclists without membership requirements. The Chicago metro area’s flat lakefront and grid of bike-friendly streets makes it excellent touring territory, and CCC’s longer routes often venture into surrounding suburbs and forest preserves where the scenery changes considerably.
