Ever since one of the about-bicycles.com readers recommended this bike trail to me, I have been wanting to get out there and check it out. Well, today I finally did it!

I live in Palatine, Il. and this trail is very close to me but I never found a way to it by bicycle because of crossing Interstate 90. Well, I just drove my bike over to the Poplar Creek Bike Trail  today and I was glad to find such a nice trail that is so close and easy to get to.

It was a beautiful day today (in the 70s (but a little windy)) so I also brought my camera and got plenty of good photos of this trail. I’ll be adding a new trail page to my list for the Poplar Creek Trail, but I didn’t get a chance to do the formatting and uploads today (I updated the Algonquin Road Trail with the latest extensions first – This is the one with the new video).

The trail is almost 10 miles and most it it is really nice. You do have to cross quite a few fairly busy roads but I think it is worth it for a nice scenic ride.

Well, I don’t have time tonight but I’ll be adding the Poplar Creek Bike Trail pages some time this week.
