Ride #3 - Fort Heggs Trail 6/21/10

In celebration of Jason's new bike, a gently used Trek Navigator 200, Jason Hawkins and Tim Scates took a ride this past Monday. We started at church and explored the Fort Heggs Bike Trail, which is a paved trail going from PHS-CC, down past Renwick Park, and ending just past the Streams Rec Center. It was a very nice and easy ride that would be great for a family bike outing. We pedaled around a bit and ended up going around 8 miles. I tried to map it on Google since I don't have a fancy GPS watch... I hope it works! :-) Let Jason know if you want to go out again... He is eager to break in the new bike and has a lot of time during the day!!!

Ride Wrap-Up: 6/13/10

We had a great ride on the I&M Canal Trail today with Jason Hawkins, Eric Wellman, and Eric Lenning. Sure we got a little wet, and thus a little muddy, but overall it was a beautiful ride and a really nice distance around 18 miles. And to be honest, riding in the rain is kind of fun!

Second Ride Coming Up

A second bike ride is in the works for this Sunday afternoon (13 June 2010) at 2:00 PM. We'll plan to ride the I&M Canal Trail from Empress Road in Joliet to McKinley Woods. Total distance will be around 18 miles round trip.

The closest address I can find for the parking lot on Empress Road is: 9945 Empress Road, Joliet IL.
