2026 Routes formats will be live soon! They will be the same roads as the 2025 routes.
We planned your route. Each year road conditions or road construction affect which are the best roads and paths to take. We will start behind Trek Bicycle - Naperville (3416 Rte 59, Naperville, IL 60564), next to Naperville Running Company-South. Trek is a bike store and also has nearby restaurants etc that open as early as 4 am. So you can find much more rider support if we start at Trek. There are 6 flush toilets between the ball diamonds just east of Trek. We thank Trek for letting us use the ample parking lots in the business center behind Trek. Please help us be a good neighbor not parking in front of Trek or Naperville Running Company. That lot is not immediately next to event check-in and could overwhelm customers of the neighbor stores (which will open before you get back on that Sunday).
Riders should start Behind Trek Naperville and take the Pedestrian Bridge over Route 59 and paths west and South to 119th Street. From there we are on some great roads. We have 4 maps below. They are the same general course but start or turn around at different spots. Questions? Call Jim @ 630-878-5680.
Also note that the Ride With GPS app or the Bike GPX apps is available in the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. Ride With GPS is free to view our maps and your location on the maps. However only the paid versions of Ride With GPS offer features like audible directions etc. We Just posted a GPX file so you can view the routes in your favorite Bike computer of or smart phone app. If you do not already have a favorite app installed then the BikeGPX is a good free app for turn by turn directions. Use your smart phone to click BikeGPX.com

2026 Naperville Rotary Ride versions of GPS route Maps
Rotary Ride maps notes 2025
All route sections are combined in the 1st Map above. Aso we have this New Importable GPX file above which has the entire 63 mile route. Import this file into your favorite Bicycling APP. For free mapping with turn by Turn Directions download and install BikeGPX and Import the file:
Most of our course is out and back. So you can turn around at any Rest Stop. (OK technically you could reverse direction at any point in the 1st 25 miles and arrows on your right side will route back to your car at Trek Naperville).
We start westward and finish eastward on smooth bike paths while in Naperville (4.4 miles each way). The rest of the route is on roads that are niceest available.
One more short ride on a bike Path starts: @10.3 miles west. We suggest taking the bike path into and through Oswego's Prairie Point Park. That is because the path features a safer pedestrian crossing light across Plainfield Road. West of our Prairie Point Rest stop you will see the Grove Road bike Path. Because that path is quite bumpy riders usually prefer to stay on Grove Road.
Speaking of roads: We are proud of our roads and they are in really good repair this year. One notable exception. About 18 miles out we need to use School House Road. Cars and trucks move pretty fast there. It is just a 1/2 mile stretch of road (each way). We break off that road ASAP. Please Use caution on School House Road. Finally, be aware there is a pretty rough railroad crossing in the town of Millhurst (around 33 miles out).
Public Restrooms:
The 1st Restrooms are just east of our Start/Finish. They are between 4 ball Diamonds. Also nice restrooms are near at 1.2 miles & 10.5 miles. Restrooms get sparse West of the Oswego Rest Stop. There is an outhouse at Silver Springs (at about 30 miles). On the way back east the same 3 Restrooms are available in the last 11 miles.
The western Sections of our course are smooth & scenic but rustic.
Minimal restrooms west of Oswego. (There is one outhouse in Silver Springs State Park).
3 shorter Bike Paths are below.
Alternate Start: Some people have asked if they can start in Oswego instead of Naperville. We said yep. Please note that T-Shirts are not guaranteed if you bypass the early morning check in behind Trek on rte 59 in Naperville. West of Naperville flush Toilets are only found at Prairie Point Park. So go before your ride. Maybe Go twice just to be sure.
We have SAG driver support out west of Oswego from 7:30am until about 1 pm. Our rest stops at Cross Church and Silver Springs close when riders become sparse. Just because you parked in Oswego does not mean you're not welcome to drive back to Naperville and enjoy some pizza etc after you finish. However, we maybe shutting down in Naperville by 2pm.
In addition to the Maps and gpx files app for navigation we also marked the routes with bright colored directional arrows.
We mostly used Paint this year (as paint is hard to move). Still, as shown below you may also see we supplemented with a few signs and some route arrow stickers. Even some chalk of the same colors as below.
There is one color for each section of the course as follows.
Between Naperville to Oswego and back is Neon Blue
Between Oswego to Cross Church and back is Neon Green
Then the Silver Springs Loop is marked in Neon Pink from Cross Church all the way around and back to Cross Church.
If you are doing the 63 miles and gotten back to Cross Church, then follow the Green Arrows back East to Oswego. Finally, follow Blue Arrows from Oswego back East to your car behind Trek Naperville.
