Who says Illinois is flat?



Patti labors up the 4/10 of a mile long incline on the Fox River Trail at Valley View as Len follows behind her. It was already in the mid-80s when we began biking at 9:30 am (but at least it was HUMID!) and eventually hit the 90s before we finished our 19 miles, and we all generated additional heat on the uphills along this section -- especially this the highest one.



Patti and Len attain the summit of this hill in Norris Woods on the northern end of the St. Charles community.



Len completes the long downhill and begins crossing the 2 bridges spanning the Fox River at this point where the Fox makes a huge bend. Dave has already passed me, but at such a fast speed due to the steep downhill that he was a mere blur in the photo.
