By doing this segment, Ellen has now round-trip biked the entire Des Plaines River Trail in Lake County (33 miles) as well as a good portion of Cook County's continuation of the trail. Our early dinner at the Gurnee Boston Market was a treat since both the Boston Markets near home have closed. We passed the 200 mile biking mark for the fourth straight month and have over 900 fat-tire miles so far this year!
