Bike Ride this Sunday


YooooooHoooooo
Going to a great bike ride this Sunday at the Illinois and Michigan Canal. Some of my great friends will join me for a great ride. It is a trail that used to be rails.
We will start at Channahon State park

From I-55: take the Rte. #6 Channahon exit. Turn west on Rte. #6 and continue into Channahon to Canal St. Take a left on Canal and proceed to Story St. Turn right on Story into the park. If the parking area is full, continue on Canal St. one more block to the Jessup St. parking area.

Hi:
Do you know that the Governor of Illinois’s office recently announced that the State of Illinois will be closing the I&M and Hennepin Canal State Parks.
While it’s unclear whether the State will put “trail closed” signs up, there is no apparent money to maintain them and fallen trees, washouts, and other issues will undoubtedly happen.

Please help pass the words to help keep the trail open by contacting the governor’s office. 217-782-0244, 312-814-2121, or www.illinois.gov/helpdesk/contact.cfm and click on the “Governor’s on Line Contact Form”
