Seven. Sunny, cool - high 50's, pretty stiff NE wind @ 12-14 mph. Gorgeous day, first time riding this trail in the Spring. Lots of riders and walkers out the whole ride. Trail conditions were perfect - just a little wet but firm, so they must have missed most of the rain over the last few days. Ride up to the Trailhead was mostly into a head/cross wind, a bit faster on the return. Got an early start, on the trail by 9:55. Stopped at Tighthead Brewery in Mundelein on the way home. *** RANT ON*** If you do ride out of Independence Grove, be forewarned: Lake County Park District charges exorbitant parking fees - $6 M-F for non-Lake Co residents (now raised to $7), $12 for Sat-Sun/Holidays (now $14). This is a ridiculous fee for just parking to take a bike ride. My suggestion is to instead use Adler Park or Adler School (just South of IG across Buckley Road), then hop on the DuPage River trail to ride through IG. On the plus side, Lake County meticulously maintains their Forest Preserves and paths. I have no problem with paying a use fee, but $7-14 is ridiculous. For comparison, Wisconsin charges a daily use fee of $5 for use of their State trails ($25 annual) and it's all on the honor system or online. They also offer daily car parking for $11 or $38 for an annual pass for out of state - good at all state parks. No such options offered in Lake County for non-residents. We all pay taxes in Illinois and if Lake County doesn't think we pay any taxes in their county (think restaurants, gas stations, breweries etc.) then I suggest you avoid spending any money while there. *** RANT OFF***
