    COVID-19 Statement

    The Z Tour team wants to address your concerns and questions directly about our plans as they pertain to the Coronavirus (COVID-19). Your health and safety are our greatest concern.

    We’ve had an initial conversation with the Illinois Department of Public Health and at this time, we are proceeding with plans to host our 10th annual Z Tour Ride on July 18, 2020. That said, we will continue to work closely with the IDPH, local government bodies, and community health officials to ensure we are taking the proper precautions and making decisions that are in the best interest of our riders, communities, and volunteers.

    We have extended our pre-registration deadline and refund deadline to midnight July 01, 2020. 

    We will continue to keep a close eye on the developments as they pertain to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and will communicate with all impacted parties should any of our plans or timeline change. Again, the wellbeing of all parties involved with this event is our utmost concern.

    Please direct any questions to Lauren W, ZCEC Director at ztourinfo@gmail.com

    On behalf of the Z Tour committee, thank you;

    Bill Schnabel, Z Tour director 2020

  • Social Distancing With Your Bike

    Social Distancing With Your Bike

    Social distancing. Is that a verb?! Yes indeed!

    When so much of the news is negative or about gearing down and closing, now is actually a good time to gear up–and open up–to getting outside and social distancing.

    Spring is arriving in many parts of the country and it’s time to saddle up and ride. The health benefits and germ-fighting properties of a good workout are well known. Everything from fresh air to oxygenated blood is beneficial to your body and mind.

    Working from home? Take a recess. Go for a brisk walk or jog. Ride your bike. If you remember the guidelines about social distance, you can even enjoy the benefits of exercise with a friend or two!

    While social distancing is critical to fighting this newest virus, it doesn’t mean we have to stop moving or living! Get up! Get out! Get yourself and your bike ready for this season. You can improve your mood, strengthen your immune system, refresh your brain, and work toward a goal.

    Register today for the 10th anniversary Z-tour on the third Saturday in July. Give yourself a reason and a target… and get out for some social distancing!

    I’m Bill Schnabel, director of this year’s Princeton Z-tour and I approve this message.
