Three rides . . . three new records

Current Seasonal Total: 1,565.8
On Sunday, September 12th, I re-rode the "fun portion" of my recent metric century. That is, I rode south to the Great Western Trail, followed it to its eastern end in Villa Park, then followed the Salt Creek Greenway Trail northward to Busse Woods. The ride was 44 miles by the time I returned home. While riding along the GWT in Villa Park (at Westmore, to be precise) I exceeded the 1500 mile mark for the 2010 season. Here is the route, provided on an interactive RideDog map:



On Tuesday, September 14th, I rode a short 14 mile ride that pushed the total seasonal mileage ridden on my Trek over the same 1500 mark. The differential of 34.6 miles came when my Trek was in the shop after my accident in May and I rode my Giant mountain bike in its place.

Finally, on Wednesday, September 15th, I rode 20.5 additional miles along familiar roads in Roselle, Schaumburg, and Hanover Park. By so doing, I exceeded the 5,000 mile mark for my Trek bicycle since purchasing it in 2007.
