Autumn is a great time to ride a bike. The air is fresh but not too cold yet, the suburbs have plenty of good places to ride — and there will be a lot of colorful foliage to see.
So where are the best places to ride for fall colors? Here’s the Daily Herald’s top five:
- Des Plaines River Trail
- Busse Woods Trail (Northwest suburbs)
- Prairie Trail of McHenry County and Fox River Trail
- Illinois Prairie Path (DuPage County)
- Millennium and linked trails (Lake County)
At the very top of the list of the Herald’s suggestions for, “Ride around the neighborhood or on longer, bucolic roads on the outskirts?” Spring Creek Road:
