 I've always wanted to ride from home to the Chain of Rocks.
Rode from my house to Dirt Cheap @ Dunn & Bellfontaine Rd where I met up wJohn Scheibel. We continued east to Riverview, then darted south to cross the mighty Mississippi via the old Chain of Rocks Bridge. Then made our way over to the trails of Madison County and did a big loop, including the Watershed trail. Then made our way back to the bridge and our seperate ways home.

It was warm & humid most of the ride, then got hit by a t-storm - and the temp dropped at least 15 degrees - before reaching Old Halls Ferry, and a flat rear tire. Sought shelter under the awning of Randall's Wine & Spirit to wait out the storm & fix the tire. The storm had pass when I was ready to roll again, and finally made it home.
