AAaauuugggghhh! Winter!

I am all for a big winter but gosh-darned it, there's a new Marlin in my basement waiting for some 50-degree temps!  Hey, does anyone know what's going on with the IPP East-bound?  The last I took it, it dead-ended at the Hillside water tower.  But the other day I saw a sign for it east of there, at maybe 25th Street...how filled in is The Path in Cook County?

P.S. I am in the suburbs, so don't bug me about NOT biking now, 49F and lower is what cars are for!  I'll work off 'The Groocho' after 3/21, thank you.

Thanks, AM 9.5.  I mapquested your directions and found the path seems to continue to 1st Avenue, where it stops? at a rotary of sorts.  Are there any other pathways nearby to jump onto, in that area or do I just turn around and head home?

To answer the last part of the question in the post - at the Hillside H2O tower, the IPP is interrupted for about 1/2 mile or so.  Cross Butterfield at the end of the path (Forest Dr.), make the first left on to Warren, and follow Warren to Mannheim.  The IPP picks up right on the east side of Mannheim a tick north of Warren.  There's no light at Warren, so if traffic is heavy it is easiest to ride down to the light just south of Warren.

Now back to suppressing urge to kill because of this crap weather.

I don't mind it snowing a bit more. I've only got one good weekend with the skis so far.  Sadly the lakefront isn't as convenient as I expected and I've had to drive to places.

Blasphemy!  Put the darned skis in the closet where they belong on March 6! :p
