Cook County's Des Plaines River Trail

Today we met in Wheeling and biked 25 miles on the northern segment of Cook County's Des Plaines River Trail, which connects to Lake County's DRT, giving a 60 mile or so trail. The Fall colors continue to intensify and further delight our eyes, as seen surrounding Patti and Ellen.


We stopped at Dam Number 1 Woods to see the river level and discovered this behemoth beauty, dwarfing Ellen beneath it.


Another shot of the colors as Dave, Ellen, and Patti ride beneath the canopy.


We left the trail in Glenview and passed this home paying homage to the Bears and Halloween...
.. as we pedaled to Moon Doggies for lunch.


When I got home I discovered that today I passed the 1500 mile mark for the year on my fat tire mountain bike. Whoppee!
