Hey All,
A few of us rode the north branch trail to the Botanic Garden this morning. I knew we were in for a fun ride when we saw the ducks paddling around the start of the trail off Milwaukee and Devon. The water was a couple of feet deep there. We managed the whole ride with just a few detours. We took to the street when we saw one brave(?) rider cross a lake-sized puddle with water up to his top tube. A downed tree blocked us at one point and there was no way we were riding through the slushy grass. All in all a great ride, just be prepared to be flexible up there!
