About this event

The FVBSC annual Swedish Days Ride will be held on Sunday, June 14th

The registration website is:Register for Swedish Days Ride

The Swedish Days Ride is the premier cycling event in Northern Illinois and the signature event of the Fox Valley Bicycle & Ski Club (FVBSC). Now in its 56th year, the Swedish Days Ride travels the quiet, scenic and relatively flat paved roads of rural Kane, Kendall and DeKalb counties, meandering through cornfields and through shaded thoroughfares.

The Swedish Days Ride offers six routes ranging from our Family Ride (12 miles) to the iconic Double Metric Century (133 miles), providing a “just right” distance for cycling families to competitive athletes. This year you can also create your own ride by combining colored loops.

The ride is fully supported with one centralized rest stop boasting AC/indoor facilities stocked with nutritional items, onsite morning emergency mechanical support and bicycle supplies, and roaming SAG patrol vehicles. With over 75 helpful volunteers, the Swedish Days Ride provides a superior riding experience to our goal of 1000 guests this year.

FVBSC donates all of the proceeds from this event to support organizations promoting safe cycling, education, advocacy, infrastructure development and cycling for people with disabilities, such as the Ride Illinois, Rails to Trails, Project Mobility, Easter Seals (bikes for kids) and Open Door. Our event has no affiliation with the Geneva Chamber of Commerce’s Swedish Days Festival.
