Thanks Terry.  Sounds like it'll be fun on my 37's when I can get out there.

The DuPage Forest Preserves and the Illinois Prairie Path are not paved.    They are a wide path of screened limestone that make a great ride.  Best to ride on 28's or wider tires.  I ride 32's.  If you ride our trails once, you will be back for more.  We have over 200 regional trail miles and another 250 local network trails and another 400 miles in planning.  Why would you go any place else with all this 10 steps from any Metra stop in DuPage County.

Can't make it this weekend, but the route looks great.  Are the West Branch Trail and forest preserve trails paved?
