Bike-tastic
I've been biking to work now for about a month- it's about 7 miles each way. I never though I would love it so much or that biking would become such a way of life. I've met lots of people through doing the ride- especially the guys that run the bike shop next door to where I work, who think I am really funny and slightly uneducated when it comes to all things bike.
Today, I had the day off so I looked up this trail they were telling me about- no one was around to make the trip with me so I got directions and jumped on my bike. It was ten miles to the start of the trail head in the north west direction. When I got there I decided I had to take the trail at least a few miles- it goes about twenty ending at the botanical gardens- well I start riding and it is such a sweet path. It winds with the Chicago river mostly through forest and I just had to keep going. Then I saw three deer! Man, I felt like I was in MI. I just got back now; my legs are wobbly and I want to eat a hamburger- haven't craved one of those in over 10 years.
