If only the sun wasn't setting so soon after work! But yeah that happens in October....
Yeah - the Prairie Path is great! When my sister still lived in Chicago, we used to do the "Big Triangle" (Wheaton/Elgin/Aurora) on the path. Beautiful along the Fox River in fall. Rode from Oak Park to my Dad's house in Crystal Lake on the Prairie Path once. Fun!
