Ridden Trail: Once a week

Cross Country Rider Summary: Great scenic trail through the heart of Chicago. The views of the city are awsome, bu the best part of the ride is the people watching. Mountain bike content? Put on your biggest knobbies; the hum they make is great for scaring people out of the way. Also good resistance training. The roadies will be surprised when you pass them on the side of the trail in the grass. Hone your techinical skills for the trails by dodging the many roller bladers, dogs, joggers, and tourists. Recommended Route: When I lived on the chicago south side I would pick up the trail at S. 31st street and head north to the end of the LSD. South to Hyde Park is interesting too. Also check out the LATE ride in mid July, which hits part of the northern section of the trail in the middle of the night.

Weekend Warrior Summary: why is this on mtbreview.com? Recommended Route: south of downtown is less crowded and fun for road bikes, north side is good for watching the ladies. Other recommended trails in the same area: palos hills and deer grove for your mountain bike fix, this if you enjoy objectifying women.

Cross Country Rider Summary: perfect for people watching, a great place to bring your boyfriend/fiance. You'll see some lovely MTBs that have never seen a trail, too!
still.. its a good place to ride if you want to work on dodging people. Recommended Route: take I-90W and dont stop till you hit hills.

, from Fayetteville Arkansas Summary: One of the few rides where its appropriate to bring the girlfriend along. And don't be fooled, This isn't mountain biking. This is "urban path riding." but don't go get out your yuppie road bike to hastily! This concrete trail does have some shiet to trick off of: The ledges make good 3 foot drop offs that are kinda fun, and if you like to pretend you are a trials rider, you can have some serious fun bouncing around the little "chess pavilion" and riding down stair cases. Most people here don't give a shit what you do, and won't even make eye contact. Don't plan on meeting any new riding buddies here and expect to be bitched at moderately for riding on the sidewalks downtown where its pretty ammusing. The cops are the only cool people here who don't bitch. Go figure. Recommended Route: It's a street. ride down it. Other recommended trails in the same area: check the other listings. . . . I'm no local.

, from Chicago Summary: This trail is for old men and boys who can not handle rough riding. Unless you are in to riding the smooth streets, this is a total waste. Time can be better spent bunny hopping cigarette butts in a K-Mart parking lot. Other recommended trails in the same area: A few miles south are some awesome trails through Jackson Park. Jumps that you can catch major air, and miles of trails that you can ride on for days. Don' waste any time downtown, go to Jackson Park. Free parking and never crowded.
