Thanks for the link, k0guz. Have ridden the path several times, round-trip from Wheaton to St. Charles. Usually visit a bike shop, eat, ride by the Fox River, and return. Once or twice, we've taken the bikes on the train, from the Wheaton station, and only ridden back. Very nice, easy, quite-flat ride (as most of Chicagoland); also recommended.
