The Swedish Days ride is one of the premier century rides in the Chicagoland area. The Fox returms this year to celebrate the 41st Swedish Days ride.
The start/finish point is behind Central High School, near Burlington, Illinois (44W625 Plato Road, Hampshire, IL 60140 for Internet maps). From here all routes travel the quiet and scenic paved roads of rural Kane County. There is still only one stop light; even on the double metric route. The terrain is mostly flat, with an occasional hill. There are frequent rest stops, which will be stocked with beverages and various selections of fruits, breads, and homemade cookies.
