800 miles . . . and counting!

On an absolutely beautiful evening, with temperatures hovering around 80 degrees and light breezes, I rode through the village of Bartlett, along the Bartlett Trail, along the crushed rock of the Hawk Hollow South trail, the Illinois Prairie Path's Elgin Spur, and the Great Western Trail and north along Kuhn Road back home. This 25 mile ride pushed my seasonal total over the 800 mile mark and brought me within 88 miles of the 3,000 mile mark since starting my "One for All" grassroots initiative two years ago.

Speaking of milestones, my cycle odometer exceeded the 2,800 mile mark on this ride. The mileage difference is explained by the 111.8 estimated miles that I rode on a rental bike in Florida in February of 2008.
