Friday Morning Bike Rides

Try to bike 20-35 mi on Friday mornings before work. Have to get up early, but that's ok because I get up early anyway. Love my Fri AM rides - peaceful, wind is usually nonexistent to calm and the roads are relatively clear of autos. A little tired at work, but you know what - its Friday and I can gut it out.

Route choices:

• Old Plank Trail west to Frankfort or to Hickory Creek in Mokena
• South - Park Forest to GSU to Monee, sometimes as far as the Monee Reservoir off of Pauling Rd.
• Southeast - Park Forest to Steger to Crete via the fantastic Richton and Kings Rds.
• Northwest - to Tinley trails through Oak Forest and Palos Heights. Route requires going north on the fantastic Central Ave (newly paved 2 years ago) bw Flossmoor Rd and 167th St.
• North through the underrated neighborhoods of the south side of Chicago (West Pullman Park and Roseland)and Riverdale. Scary - not at 6:30 in the morning and on a bike. May not be that scary anyway.
