Biking Poplar Creek Forest Preserve

I met Len and Dave and Patty and we biked 15 miles on the Poplar Creek Forest Preserve loop today, including several on the mountain bike trails seen below.

Beautiful 84 degrees and magnificent forest scenery!

Then lunch at IHOP where we ran into another former colleague, Paul Reeff. Great day!
