Summary:
I ride here a lot, it is okay, better than riding on the road. We built dirt jumps there but they kept getting knocked down then our shovels got stolen, it was pretty cool until people went and wrecked it!

Summary:
Its awiiight.
Trails not marked, in disrepair, generally strew with broken glass, beer bottles, and discarded porno mags.
Shady, molester-like dudes wandering around.
However, there are a couple pretty good streches, and if you don't act snobby about it, not that bad of a ride. Some alright hills, logs, etc...
Good if you don't feel like driving 40 miles to ride.

Recommended Route:
(from central chicago)
north on pulaski,
west on foster. Make a right into first entrance for forest preserve. Ride through park to the river. Small trail there. You can cross the tracks to get to the majority of trails.

Summary:
This is actually part of the North Branch FP district system. The trails mentioned go all the way from Central Ave. to LaBagh Woods near Foster and Pulaski. The total mileage is maybe 4-5 miles. The trails are nothing special compared to Palos or Deer Grove but there are some quick little hills and some tight turns. Lots of high school kids back in woods so expect glass on the trail... There are some BMX style jumps which makes things fun. I use this system to train on my cyclocross bike. If you ever see a guy on an orange bike with drop bars that would be me...

Recommended Route:
Start at Central Ave Just north of Elston. You can drop in at Indian Road Woods FP

Not much... Des Plaines River trail... Palos...Deer Grove
