Description

this is the first in a short series called Nature Rides, in which the objective is to sit back on that saddle for a minute and enjoy the natural beauty that we bike through.  there will be 4-6 rides this spring/summer/fall, all meant to showcase chicagoland's ever-changing scenery.

what's happening: it's the height of flowering season!  trees, shrubs, annuals, biennials and perennials are going balls to the wall right now.  additionally there's a festival there with plant and food vendors.  a definite must-see.

meeting point:  at the start of the North Branch Trail at Caldwell Woods (corner of Devon & Milwaukee Ave).  we'll be in the parking lot.
