Trek Farley 9.6. Mostly sunny, coolish but comfortable in the low to mid 60's, NE winds @ 5-7 mph. Started at my regular spot at Fox River Park in Ottawa. Started out heading West but started getting into ever increasing mud at around 5 miles and turned around at 5.5 miles. Stopped at the car at mile 11 and put on the Origami rear fender and headed towards Seneca. There was a poor section for around 2 miles between Ottawa and Marseilles, at one point the trail was totally under water. Backtracked and jumped off the I&M and onto Canal Rd into the West portion of Marseilles. The rest of the trail to downtown Seneca was just fine. I pushed on the return and drove my average speed up to 11.0 mph for the ride from 10.2 mph on my arrival at Seneca. This was a fairly flat ride but slowed down significantly by the pockets of mud and standing water on the trail. The bike was a complete muddy mess by the finish. No trees down on the sections ridden, which is probably a first. Good week riding with7 total days, over166 miles, and 15+ hours ride time, the high week for the year.
