Prairie Trail North of Fox River and FRT"},"content":{"rendered":"

I was just informed a few days ago that there is a bridge out on the McHenry County Prairie Trail<\/strong><\/em> just north of where you cross the Fox River and Route 31 in Algonquin. This is kind of a bummer for those of us who like to ride the northern part of the Fox River Trail<\/strong><\/em> then connect to the Prairie Trail and continue north.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t look like it would be easy (or maybe not even possible) to cross the tributary where the bridge is out. I was looking at this area on Google Maps and it looks like there could be a way around this but it might be tricky for those of us who are not real familiar with the area and the local roads.<\/p>\n

The bridge is supposed to be back around May 1st<\/strong><\/em> but there is a lot of good riding time between now and then so I may actually head up there to check this out and see if there is a way around the missing bridge (like the famous Led Zeppelin line “has anyone seen the bridge<\/em>?!?”)<\/p>\n

Anyway, if anyone out there already knows a way around this please post a reply or send me an email.<\/p>\n
