Groups of bicycle riders will be lead around the Busse Woods trail to experience all of the hoots, howls and beauty the forest preserve has to offer when the gates are closed to the public.

After your bike ride, enjoy live music from The Dill Spears, refreshments, raffle prizes, bonfires, s'mores and more.

Food for purchase will be available from Inches Tacos.

All paid attendees, age 21 or older, will receive two drink tickets for beer from a local brewery or wine from Wine with Me.
