Introduction
Who wants to hear a story about a hill?
Warm-O-Rama
Detailed route over to the Trout Farm in Bolingbrook. Approximately 1/2 the PAX had not heard of the hill over by the Trout Farm.
The Thang
Bike over to Whalon Lake, take the path to the right over to Hidden Lakes Trout Farm.
Through the parking lot, and up the very steep road that leads up to Boughton Road. Most made it up successfully! I did not as my chain was slipping.
When up at Boughton Road, take the near sidewalk east to Delaware Dr, and back down to the Dupage River Greenway, leading back to the Trout farm. Take another trip up the hill, if Possible! This is where Mom’s Group broke his chain on the 2nd attempt up. Luckily his domicile is not terribly far from the break location, and he went back home from there without incident.
Sparky did a great job keeping up with all of the PAX and rounding them up for a successful trip back to TC.
Circle of Trust
Prayers for Turner’s son who is going to have surgery.
Naked Man Moleskin
Noting that the hill we climbed, is one that I have had difficulty with, since it is by my old house and would (attempt) to bike up it. By far the most common result was failure, but it didn’t stop me from trying.
