Join us June 8-13, 2025 for the 22nd annual Grand Illinois Bike Tour (GIBT)! This year’s route explores north central Illinois beginning and ending in Rochelle, with overnights in our pre-reserved hotels in Ottawa, DeKalb and Rockford. We will begin and end in Rochelle. Registration opened on November 1.
Our 2025 loop will first make its way to Ottawa, with a layover day to Starved Rock and Illinois River cities the next day. We then continue for a night in DeKalb, home of Northern Illinois University. From there it is off to Rockford, with two nights in Rockford and layover day routes in the area. This year’s ride concludes to Rochelle. Join us and invite your friends.
Are you only able to do half of the tour? Three-day options for Sun-Tue and Wed-Fri are available, on a very limited basis.
