On Saturday I went to Cuba Marsh with my frend Bernard. We went around the loops to Ela road and back 3 times for 6.4 miles for a warmup ride for Sunday. Bernard is just getting back into riding so I asm taking it slow with him. He soesn't want to push himself to hard yet. It is like me two years ago when 6 to 10 miles was to hard. I was cruising and he was trying to keep up. So every time we made it to Ela from the parking lot we would stop before we stary back. On Sunday or today we went down the Des Plaines River trail from half day forest preserve to about Rte. 176 and back for 12.5 miles. Again we took it slow and easy making a few stops up and back. I felt great and would of went fartther but Bernard wanted to get back because he thought he would not make it back. Over all we went for a two day ride of about 19 miles, while seeing a deer running across our path on the Des Plaines River trai. It was cool to see it, it startled me at first and it continued to cross the path with no interference. All in all but days felt good to get back on the bike.
