single track rules
Finally back in the saddle — and I need to get more time in the saddle with the MS150 ride coming up in June. The weather was chilly. I forgot how much I’ve learned to enjoy the Waterfall Glen loop, with Signal Hill added in. Signal is a tough climb, especially at the beginning of […]
Perfect weather for the meltdown. The evening before unleashed a storm with 60 mph winds and an 1″ of rain. Regardless of the weather, the course was ready. With over 500 racers and plenty of spectators the was well attended. A great day for all !
I just hit the new, or soon to be opened Double X trail at the Palos Triangle. CAMBr has created an amazing trail that rocks and rolls, literally. The route follows the top of the “slag piles” that were created from the formation of the canal. 100+ years later we the perfect terrain for a technical […]
We made our own triple trailer ! I attached the third wheel to my bike and then added the Burley to the third wheel, success. I wasn’t sure how long H would be able to make it, but we’re able to click off over 8 miles ! The guys did really well and fun was […]
I finally hit a lap at Waterfall Glen, how could I not with this unbelievable weather ! How can bottle up spring adrenalin? My first half lap energy level was off the charts, it felt so great to be out. Also caught a great sunset. Now we need to get a regular group out rolling […]
Normally I’ll hit the single track from here but today was different. This time I was towing the Burley with the guys. Besides being a great place to ride, the boys loved the rustic ride versus the normal lap at the Arboretum. Nice workout too.
Hit the local trail with the Burley loaded with H + T. We did an out and back with a lap around the largest quarry. The guys enjoyed the ride, we took a break to run around on the eastern edge of the largest quarry. Here’s our ride on Garmin Connect. If you’re not using […]
Another great day on the bike. Quite a few folks on the trail, especially north of Navy Pier. We plowed through and counted as many boats as we could.
There’s no better time but the present. Trail condition finally switched to yellow so I put the round side down. Good stuff and glad I made it out.
Great little meet-up spot to hit a lap at Swallow Cliff. This is a fantastic 7.5 mile loop that always keeps you on your toes. If the trail isn’t throwing in an unexpected turn then a hill suddenly shows up. Rambo Hill in the east section is great finish point that makes sure you’re worth […]
