Deer Park Woods redux

We biked Deer Grove Forest Preserve's mountain bike trail -- Ellen's favorite of all the trails I've shown her -- on yet another magnificent Fall day.





Ellen led for much of the 11 mile ride, giving her the exhilarating feeling of exploration and discovery as she topped each hill and turned each bend, each revealing sights new to her.



My favorite tree is still beautiful, and some of the yellowish leaves have deepened into orange and red since our ride last week.



What a glorious October it's been! Today I surpassed 300 miles for the month -- the best ever for an October.
