The Blackhawk StateLine 60
Our 30th annual event features a delightful route starting on Main
Street in Rockton,
Illinois at the Greater Rockton Centre.
Plenty of parking is at the Hononegah
High School. Restrooms and food
are included to ensure you enjoy the beauty of this spring ride in the
country. Three routes are available which will offer something for everyone.
For your safety, helmets are required for all riders.
17 Mile Ride
Any age or skill level can experience cycling on rural, lightly traveled
country roads. The villages of Rockton and Roscoe are a true delight that
should not be missed on this journey.
30 Mile Ride
Rolling countryside, quaint towns, and unspoiled views along the Sugar
River sets the stage for this
tour. The Duck Pond rest stop is a favorite on this route.
62 Mile Ride
Shift into high gear for this 62-mile trek through the rolling hills of
northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin.
You'll pass sprouting farmland, visit charming villages and cruise along the
scenic Sugar River.
