What a difference a week makes! This late-morning ride along the GWT, IPP Elgin Spur, and Bartlett featured unseasonably cool conditions. I left home at 10:33 a.m. and returned at 1:19 p.m. Skies were mostly cloudy with temperatures in the mid-60s and moderate NW winds. I wore original Livestrong jersey with arm warmers and Specialized shorts. Home . . . to Cloverdale to Lawrence to Thorn to [Dominicks Plaza] to [Gary Avenue Starbucks @ 10:43] to Camden to Covington to Scott to Stratford to Butterfield to [Bloomingdale Court road] to Schmale (sidewalk) to Mill Pond to President to Great Western Trail (westbound) @ 11:30 to [IPP-Elgin Spur] to Frontage to Sonny Acres to St Charles. I then followed the relatively new West Branch Trail back to the GWT to IPP-Elgin Spur to Frontage to Sonny Acres to St Charles to Morningside to Kenwood to Tall Oaks to Christopher to Timber to Springvale to Lightning to Evergreen to Birchbark to High Ridge to [Lies Road path] to Spring Valley to Fairfax to Schick (sidewalk) to [Schick Trail] to [Bartlett Trail] to Bartlett (sidewalk) to [Wilcox Trail] to Newport to Stearns to Greenbrook to Arlington to Catalina to Arlington to [path] to Indigo to Cloverdale . . . to Home.
