This trail is part of my personal history. When I was young we lived in Cook County and occasionally my parents would toss their folding Raleigh bikes and my bike in the trunk and we would head to Chicago for a bike ride. Lots of good memories including the time we met a guy walking his pet skunk.
We were in Chicago last month, and I even had my bike with me, but I didn't get a chance to ride any in Chicago. Hit up some in St. Louis and a section of the Katy Trail, though. Pretty cool.
@@KentuckyCycling I was on a Midwest Ag Tour and just threw my bike in to carry along for the trip, just in case. Ended up staying in St Louis, so I rode to the Arch, then one of the farms that I was touring ended up being in Defiance, MO so I took a couple of hours to ride while there. It was neat. Now I want to go back and ride the entire thing. Btw, finally got those Moloko bars. Really liking them so far. I’ve just got about 75 miles on them so far, but plan to add a few more before school starts back up.
That was an excellent bicycling path with excellent scenery!
Thank you for taking me with you!
That looked fantastic! Definitely on my bucket list.
Great views along the way!
Very nice! Thank you for taking me. It was a beautiful ride!
I've ridden that trail before, and it's really quite breathtaking.
Thanks.Bike trails in cities can be surprisingly nice and reasonably safe.

I totally want to do that ride. I've heard it's very very crowded on weekends
I wouldn't be at all surprised. We were riding on a Wednesday afternoon so it wasn't too bad, but still lots of folks out enjoying the trail.

@@mountainsmoore3657 Good deal. And glad to hear that the bars are working well for you so far.
