Dan: I think I know where that tank farm is and yea, it's a cool place. How much of the area is deserted around the mills these days?

theres a few holes in the fences here and there, and the network of access roads for the railroads that intersect in all kinds of directions make for good exploring.

1, the spiral ramp at the horseshoe casino parking garage. (dont do it without brakes)

That ramp at Horseshoe is a good hill climbing challenge.

thats crazy talk, sounds too much like work. besides the cars come down that ramp.. i usually go and sneak my bike onto the elevator > top floor > ride >repeat until told to leave.

I really dig a small area in lincoln square I live by. Quiet, cute little houses to look at. A nice break away from the hustle and bustle in the city.

when i have a whole day off (especially weekdays), I like to jump on the Metra train to Aurora and ride north to Crystal lake, or vice versa, depending on which way the wind is blowing. Lots of cute towns along the Fox River Trail (off-road and paved). On weekdays the path is nearly deserted.
