We biked 23+ miles on McHenry County's Prairie Trail and the spur of the Hebron Trail on a sunny but chilly 50 degree windy day. Here Ellen and Patti pass beneath one of Richmond's old wooden bridges...
... and here they cross over a modern trail bridge on the Hebron Trail bypass around Genoa City, Wisconsin on the Illinois border. Then we looped around through the town and headed south on the Prairie Trail back to Peterson Park on the banks of Lake McCullough in McHenry.
As we left the streets of Genoa City to return to the trail, the access runs between 2 houses, and a frenetic dog always chases us along his property line, alarming Patti, as seen here as she hugs the side of the trail as the dog, seen next to the tree, barks at her.
A rest stop in Richmond provided by the McHenry Bike Club is a welcome temporary respite from the chilly wind...
... and a Burger King lunch at the end of a nearly 3 hour ride is also a fine reward to a great day of pedaling.
