Chicago IL to Deerfield IL. Todays ride was a fun ride, we only went 30 miles, but our friends and family were invited and I convinced my mom and Ward to ride with me. The ride was nice, I never suspected that the Chicago trails were so nice, and we didn't get lost at all, and the paths were nice up until the slightly muddy last 10 miles. Once we got in, we found out that another local charity for cancer had a fund-raising bike ride ending up in the same place as us, so we got to hang out with them and that was awesome. I had a lot of fun riding today, and I was proud of everyone, I think Ward and my mom both did great, and they kept up great, and I wouldn't be surprised if they started heading out on a few more rides in the near future after seeing how easy it was! Tonight's dinner was provided by a family friend of Matt S, and once again we were spoiled and were stuffed with burgers, hot dogs, and grilled chicken, along with watermelon and chips.
