This isn't a race is it..... My fat butt is not in shape for anything like that.... If it's a cruse through the tree's, I'll try to be there....
Any one else from NW IN want to go and Car Pool?

At this time of year, I'm definitely a "watch the weather" kind of guy. But if it's no rain, and above 45 or so, I plan on going. Just keep an eye on the weather, and on these posts. I think there's definitely a better chance of good turnout if the weather is decent. Having said that, I think I rode this last year or the year before, and the weather was less than great. But at least it was outside.

decent ride on sunday. i bundled up for the start of the ride and since i live right near wauconda, i rode to the start. unfortunately i had nowhere to shed layers, so after the 20 mile loop, i decided to just go home instead.
JT1 and ColorChange, it was good to see you guys. Hopefully you two had good rides.
Here's my ride data, fwiw: https://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/7856701
