We will ride the single tracks of the Paul Douglas Woods in Hoffman Estates. The Paul Douglas MTBiking trails are the newest trails developed by the Chicago Area Mountain Bikers. The looping and tightly turning trails traverse the savanna and open rolling prairie landscape. There are no technical difficulties of overcoming roots or rocks. The trails are one way only.

The first half of the ride, 10 miles, is easy while the second half is intermediate level owing to the climbs. The riders may choose to ride first half of easy 10 miles or stay to ride for the intermediate level 10 mile of second half.

If you are new to the mountain biking or just wondering what it likes to ride a single tracks, this is an appropriate ride. A fat tire bike without a suspension would be just fine.

We will ride as a group and no one will be left behind. Karen Kiley will sweep and offer helpful suggestions if asked or needed.
