More Miles on the Des Plaines River Trail

I drove to Wheeling, Illinois today and we did another two legs on the Des Plaines River Trail; north for 7 miles and south for 18 a total of almost 25!



the northern leg ended rather abruptly, but is scheduled to connect to the trail that we rode yesterday a bit further north of here.
The fall colors are just spectacular and to live in the area and ride through the forests to enjoy them up close and personal is a wonderful experience.


but it wasn't all perfect, we had to ride about a half mile on the single track along side a very busy 4 lane road. So full attention and focus was key.
We arrived at our destination Moon Doggies which is a cool sandwich shop.


I was more starved than usual. I got a Jumbo Chili Dog and fries; Patti was much more conservative with a healthy looking salad. She also got a chocolate shake which looked a lot like a diet coke...


Chuck drove us home since I was really spent; then I crashed on the Lazy Boy for about an hour and felt a lot better.
