Thanks, Barrettscv...I'll take all the encouragement I can get, and this was a beautiful day for a ride!
10-day forecast looks dry the rest of the week into next weekend, so who would be up for a ride along that North Branch path Big Chainring mentioned?
That would be my own first choice as it's close. Fox River sounds nice too but would be a bit of a hike for those of us from the city.
Would Saturday or Sunday be better? I think I could make either work. Actually, as I work freelance, planning to do it on either day is a virtual guarantee that a job will come up. And not a great job either, one just barely good enough to make me break my personal plans.
