About this event
Presented by Windy City BMW and X Chapter
Join us on Saturday, October 17 for a relaxed group drive out to Starved Rock State Park. This collaborative chapter drive hosted by Windy City BMW and X Chapter is all about great roads, fall colors, good food, and even better company.
We’ll have two easy starting options to make things convenient for everyone:
- Group 1 will depart from Chicago at 8:45 AM
- Group 2 will meet in Joliet at a gas station near the I-55 and I-80 interchange at 9:30 AM — an easy spot to fuel up and join the drive
We’ll regroup and roll out together at 9:50 AM for the final stretch to Starved Rock.
Our plan is to arrive around 11:30 AM, just in time for lunch at Starved Rock Lodge Restaurant. After lunch, you’re welcome to stay and enjoy the park, take a hike, explore the trails, or head home whenever it suits you.
