    I'm 5 hours south of you ladies. Sure sounds like fun and wish I was closer.

    We should all do a ride on the Prairie path once the weather gets warmer!

    Isn't the Prairie Path covered in crushed limestone? I don't think I'd want to take my Cervelo road bike on that...with all that dust being kicked up, I'd be cleaning out the drivetrain for days...

    I think it's probably called the North Branch trail... goes up to and through the Botanical Gardens. It's a great diversion to the LFP in the summer, because it's much less traveled.

    The Prairie Path runs north-south through Kane and McHenry counties, along the Fox River. It heads north until Genoa City, WI To the south, it connects with the Fox River Trail. It's around 100 miles of path. I've never biked it, but I'd sure like to!
