Nice ride, not many Freds out (and the more Spandex and carbon the less happy they look) but the water fountains and pumps are off in most campgrounds. We got a drink at a gas station near the trail. Irises will be out this or next week, and we saw some deer.

Let us know how it goes!Chicargohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03166650767505966551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682899986857040901.post-17841237488943452362011-09-01T16:48:22.596-05:002011-09-01T16:48:22.596-05:00How late can you go bike riding to this trail/ Can...How late can you go bike riding to this trail/ Can you bike at night if your bike is equipped with the necessary gear?Tinchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16501346934033431903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682899986857040901.post-63124607457744565352011-06-13T10:48:47.140-05:002011-06-13T10:48:47.140-05:00Hi John-

It is a little tricky with our middle guy to ride the whole way.Our oldest son could probably do the ride to the trail and ride on but we'll need to portage the others. We are curious about Metra - we need to practice getting on and off with the guys and bikes but it looks like a very promising way to get to much of the trail. There are ,as we mention, quite a few black-out no bikes on Metra dates that bear checking out on the bikes and trains page linked in the post!Chicargohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03166650767505966551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682899986857040901.post-55930950893441961032011-06-13T08:00:36.366-05:002011-06-13T08:00:36.366-05:00If you're looking for a route to connect from ...If you're looking for a route to connect from Milwaukee to the trail, I might suggest something like this:<br />http://goo.gl/maps/j6TK<br /><br />However, you will probably have to ride on the sidewalk along Devon Ave for a few blocks, it still may be too far for younger kids, and Forest Glen Ave might be too busy for them as well.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15388615060405992105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682899986857040901.post-46462812363206404532011-06-13T01:36:27.157-05:002011-06-13T01:36:27.157-05:00it's at http://www.circleofmoms.com/top25/biki...it's at http://www.circleofmoms.com/top25/biking-families?trk=t25_biking-familiesChicargohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03166650767505966551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682899986857040901.post-77678993600391256612011-06-13T01:34:25.363-05:002011-06-13T01:34:25.363-05:00p.s.
