Fuel EX 9.8. Sunny, much warmer - in the 60's - still very breezy, but a gorgeous Fall day. Solo ride but I did run into Don Wostrasky, so I got that going for me. Lots of new trails today, first time at Paul Douglas. Rode the old and new trails on the West side of the FP, flowy but very curvy trails, pretty flat and the trails still need to be broken in but overall they've done a really good job. The MWFS vs TTHS changes are rather confusing but I'm sure I'll get used to it with time. It's another place close by to ride and the trails are good for practicing bike handling skills. I did the Green Trail full loop, then took the Purple Trail up to the Red Loop, then followed the Purple trail all the way to the North end. At the turnaround (7.5 miles), jumped on the paved trail for 1.5 miles and rejoined the Red and Green loops going South for a total of 12 miles. At this point ran into Don who told me about a whole 'nother section of trail East of the parking lot with 6+ miles of new singletrack for which there is no map yet - I'll check that out next trip out there in the coming weeks - should be able to get an 18 mile ride in no problem. Lots of other riders in the parking lot but I didn't see that many on the trails, which is common for one way routes. Rehydration and lunch at The Assembly American Bar & Cafe in Hoffman Estates, just about 2 miles from the ride location. Excellent burgers cooked at the bar and a decent beer selection.
