Bike Trip #2 (18.5 Miles)










Just 2 days after trip one on June 6th , we packed up again; going only one way from Morris to the place we ended last time in Channahon where Dan picked us up. What a welcome sight he was after 18.5 miles and pulling not only the bike cart with all our stuff in ...but the last mile I also pulled Xander and his bike (with a bungie cord, see photo) due to some floppy handle bars. We were so ready to call it quits. It took us 5-6 hrs total and that includes the stop at the park with the pitcher pump... the turtle holding...Picture taking (Josie took the one of Xander and I)... and the tree we had to overcome across the path due to the wind storm the night before. Xander had to refuel with Performance every .5 mile or so and Nana was in and out of the cart so progress is pretty slow (and that doesn't even mention the emergency Big Job Potty we had to do in the woods) We also came across a huge tree with a huge hole in that fit Xander, Nana, and Josie in. At this point we have gone 30+ miles on the I&M canal Bike Path.
