Testimonials

"Riding in the IGRR the past two years has convinced me that I never want to miss any of their future rides. Based on my experience, I anticipate that each year will be better than the one before. The friendly host, excellent food and great entertainment makes this a first-class event. Riders from all levels of experience can enjoy this ride and expect days of average miles. In addition, the route is so well marked you can't possibly get lost. Rating this ride, I would definitely give it ***** (five stars)." Ruth Sanders - Milan, IL

"Clair and I can't say enough good about your ride. It's the best ride we have ever done. It's like being on one of those rides you pay megabucks for, but lots more people. You definitely get the same treatment. Wonderful food, routes, places to stay, things to see. You feel like part of a large family. Great sag service. They bend over backwards to help you in any way possible." Ruth Ann and Clair Reiner - Lisbon, OH

"We first tried this ride because of comfortable distances and moderate hills. We've been rewarded with terrific hospitality, wonderful points of interest, and new friendships made along the way." Roger and Lynne Vaughan - California

"The atmosphere on this ride is unique as compared to other tours. At the end of the day you don't just get in line, eat, and sit around your tent. You clean up and go to happy hour, have a great dinner, and then enjoy the evenings festivities! While on the bike, the river towns and the rivers themselves are pretty darn cool. Looking forward to seeing the gang again next year - the riders and the staff." Dave Statz - Baraboo, WI

"What's not to like! You get to ride bikes all day with your friends and make new friends. You come in for great meals plus you get afternoon snacks, with beer and wine. Someone carries your stuff and even helps pick up after you. Plus you get to ride on some of the prettiest roads in Illinois. Then in the evening you have even more fun. It's like being 12 years old again, except for the beer and wine part." Kent Terry - Marseilles, IL

"Have been attending 2 or 3 rides a year from the mid 80's. The Illinois Great Rivers Ride (my 3rd time) has been one of the best, if not the best. Great people run the ride, routes are interesting and scenic, flat to rolling terrain helps a lot too. Illinois is a great place to ride in." Sam Wexler - Illinois
