Current Seasonal Total: 1,982.5
Today (Saturday), I rode to Busse Woods and completed most of its 8-mile loop before continuing southward along the Salt Creek Greenway Trail to the head of the Great Western Trail in Villa Park. With stiff westerly breezes, the first (northeasterly) leg for my ride was easy, while the western leg along the GWT was far more challenging. In the end, I rode 44 miles over leaf-covered trails and streets, and by so doing, I reduced my magic number to 18! I enjoyed two Starbucks pit stops -- one at the Roselle location about 20 minutes into the ride (for hot coffee) and the other on the final leg near home (for iced coffee).
With satisfactory weather tomorrow (Sunday), I am likely to surpass the 2000 mile mark. Stay tuned!
