This is just a quick update to let you know that the Des Plaines River Bike Trail (the lake county end) is ready for riding season.

I just talked to my friend who rides this trail quite often and he told me that the underpasses are all open and the trail is all passable.

Since this is a trail along the river, it has been known to flood fairly often when we have a lot of rain. As of today, the lower shadier areas have a few puddles now but the sunny open areas are even a little dry and dusty already.
