Seven. Cool - 40's, cloudy with intermittent rain, SW winds. Pretty miserable day for a ride but I dressed right for it and stayed warm but not so dry. Spring Lake Forest Preserve and Penny Road Pond in Barrington Hills. Probably the worst Forest Preserve I've ever ridden in - poorly maintained and trails were in terrible condition. This might be a FP for just horseback riding and walking. Lots of mud, standing water, flooded areas, rocks and roots, high grass and some nice woodland trails in places, a very pretty place but perhaps better suited for a full suspension mountain bike. This was a real slog of a workout and conditions meant a very slow speed. The low point (literally) was having to carry the bike and walk through a swamp in 12" of water and my boots were thoroughly soaked. Don't think I'll hit this FP again.
