New Blog - Snow Biker Chicago

Just started a new blog Snow Biker Chicago - SBC
This one is to document the build on my latest bike a Chain Reaction Cycles - 9:ZERO:7 snow bike
from the ground up, every piece needs to be hand picked and researched.

coyotes at dusk in fermilab

Quick ride at sunset in Fermilab. I was heading home when I heard what sounded like a puppy mill going crazy, pulled over and heard LOTS of coyotes playing around or maybe just eating something, because on the way out of Fermilab a police man pulled me over to ask if I had seen any small dogs running around. Some were missing in the neighborhood and the owners were upset.

Hot Weekend tour

Heading back to the Hennepin Canal Trail this weekend for about a 100 mile ride with one night of camping. The Moots is coming along and its uncharted territory for him so is should be very good. Its going to be super hot though, heat index into the 100F+ range and a chance of thunderstorms. Its the same route from our 4 day tour and it was my favorite stretch of trail. Chances of seeing anyone on the trail have to be low in this kind of weather stiuation, a relaxing ride to the Geneseco Campground, which I think is just awesome. The cleanest showers at any campground I have ever been to, it should be a great end to a very hot, long ride. Cant wait!
I will update everyone on this ride and I know, still owe everyone the Tour Across Illinois ride posting. Soon-scouts honor!
Ride On!
