This post with information below, saved in PN’s archives in the cloud, is from last year. To be perfectly clear, the promotion below about Rotary Ride is from 2019, but the spirit of the 2021 event remains the same as it will benefit Loaves & Fishes Community Services, Naperville Responds for Veterans and 360 Youth Services.

Always check the year when searching for current stories.

Following the recommendations set forth by local and federal officials, the CDC and cycling groups, the Rotary Club of Naperville Downtown (RCND) made the difficult decision to cancel the Rotary Ride scheduled for 2020.
