This is what I find when I bike 25 miles west from home. It is a favorite destination. If you want to know more about it you can read the back story here.

I took my first ride to this location last week, but the weather has not been friendly since. I would love to get inside this building and take some pictures!

Spring is in a titanic struggle with Winter…cold days, then a warm day, then back to cold. This was taken on a cool day on my way back from a long ride. You can do it Spring!

I enjoy taking a hike to this bridge over the Illinois River. You walk along the tracks that slice between corn fields, trees, and high voltage towers. Shhhhh… don’t tell anyone, but my goal is to climb those stairs…… shhhhh…..
