Palos Hills MTB Ride 12-01-24

Fuel EX 9.8. Sunny & bright, cold - 17 to 22 degrees, WNW winds @ 10-12 mph. Pretty damn cold but I dressed right and was comfortable. Quite a few other riders out for a change, I counted at least 2 dozen. Didn't see any critters, though.

Started at Wolf Road Woods, did the West/NW portion of the Palos Triangle first; Trails were in great shape, dry and crunchy. Even though I dressed right, was starting to get chilled after 2 hours riding so I cut off about 2.5 miles up by the Cemetery Loop. Still finished with about 2.5 hours riding. Great route but easy to add onto for future reference.

I broke out the heavy Winter boots, Pogies and extra layers. Had a bowl of chili and a cider @ the Irish Legend after the ride. This was the first really cold ride of the Winter season - but a piece of cake. Palos Park is truly a treasure!
