Fox River Trail Ride - Batavia to South Elgin







Great Ride yesterday afternoon. It was very warm out (50F) and the Fox River Trail on the east side was free of snow and ice the whole way to South Elgin. There were some challenging spots in a muddy-limestoney areas but the new bike performed beautifully. The skinny tires worked well and i can't wait to new the stratus new shoes, thinking Conti-SportContact. This was also the first ride with the new Rans Chopper Fairing. So far I really like it. Its ugly and not super sexy, but it did hold the iPod and speakers and waterbottle with no problem, and i did notice a reduction in wind in my chest and leg area. Now all that wind goes right into your face. Also lost a super blinky from the back of the aerotrunk.
