Fuel EX 9.8. Cloudy, bit cooler but still very humid, no wind at all. Started fairly early (9 am), I should have started 1-1.5 hours earlier but.... weather forecast from last night was completely off (big surprise). It was not supposed to rain until 1 pm but that changed to 9:15 am this morning. It ended up being a very slow drizzile that took a long time to filter down through the trees and the worst rain was up North in the Prickly Prairie sections. While I didn't leave any tread marks, there was a lot of dirt and mud on the bike by rides end. Upon completion the rain had stopped and I think this is actually good riding for the trails to help break them in. Other than a few squirrels, no wildlife spotting, but did see a few other riders for a change. I only rode on the Western trails today as I wanted to be able to bail out if the rain increased. I rode North on the Green and Red trails then jumped off at marker 13 and took the paved trail up to marker 22 and proceeded South on the Purple trail. At the bottom, rode the Green and Red trails in both directions. Finished off with a bit of the paved trail East to get my mileage up to 12+ miles and close to 1:30 ride time. Me and the bike were so dirty I had to find a spray car wash to clean us both up. Had a burger and some rehydration at the Assembly in Hoffman Estates.
