<p>I'm interested but I'm very very slow. Ask anyone. I can last on long rides, but I roll around at a leisurely sloth pace. We can always start out together and if I'm too slow I'll just get off at downtown or maybe Lakeview?</p>

<p>I'm a big fan of the Channel Trail to the Green Bay Trail. But that's because it is pretty close and easy to get to from where I live in Logan Square. And once on the GBT I can always bail out by catching the Metra back home for whatever reason I can't complete the miles I bit off.</p>

<p>There are a ton of good trails. The only problem is getting to them. Many of them go on for more miles than most folks are willing to ride. </p>

<p>Front-facing lights are ALWAYS a good idea. Even a legal requirement. . . Enjoy your rides, and you might consider making your 20 milers to the south. The view of the skyline is actually better from down around 47th Street, and the LFP is always less crowded south of the Museum Campus.</p>

<p>Sweet, welcome to cycling in the Chicago area. If you start early enough at this time of year you can get some great rides on the LFP. It's a nice jaunt for short rides like this. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Don't get TOO used to a clear LFP though. Next spring you'll be looking for someplace else to ride or needing to depart at 3AM to beat the crowds.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Where are you getting the 50 in? Just doing more laps of the LFP?</p>
