Hey Lise...

I just rode the Old Plank Trail this weekend for the first time - it was part of the 56-mile loop of the Explore Joliet Sudden Century.

Honestly? I thought it was annoying to ride on -- lots of people to dodge and we stopped every .5 mile or so for traffic. I much preferred riding on the roads with traffic. But if you don't mind dodging walkers/joggers/little kids on bikes and stopping for traffic, then it's great! It is very pretty out there.
