     Biking with Beanzie (BWB) is a recreational ride presented by Kishwaukee Kiwanis Club of DeKalb and sponsored by Kishwaukee Community Hospital.
     The ride route consists of primarily flat rural roads with some rolling terrain with estimated ride options of 25, 46, 62, 80 or 101 miles. Past rides have gone through scenic Lake Shabbona State Park and the Lee County windmill farm. All roads are well-paved, lightly traveled and posted with signs containing ride information and bits of Beanzie humor.
     There are also 3, 5 and 8-mile family/community bicycle pathway routes.
     All ride routes are provided with rest stops and water stops, regardless of the length of the route chosen.  Bagels, fruit, beverages and a variety of other food options will be provided at rest stops. Our ride is easy to navigate with well-marked routes, route maps, and cue sheets. Friendly sag wagon drivers are knowledgeable about the route and bicycling.  Community vendors and food vendors will also be available following the ride.
      As a rider of the Biking with Beanzie event, you will be investing in our Community. BWB is a “family” event that promotes fitness and family fun. Profits from this ride go to support the Kishwaukee Bike Pathway Projects and other projects within DeKalb County.
     BWB is partnering with Live Healthy DeKalb County initiative to help promote a healthier lifestyle within DeKalb County.

Support: SAG (Support & Gear) wagon and rest stop support will be provided until 3:30 p.m.

It is the biker’s responsibility to be done with their chosen route and the high school facilities by 3:30 p.m. SAG driver phone numbers can be found on the route cue sheets provided at registration. SAG drivers will gladly transport riders that misjudge their time.
