Mt Biking near Chicago

Here are a few pics of my mt biking trip with 2 buddies. The trails were more extreme than expected, in fact one log jumped out in front of my trusty bike stopping it (not me) dead in its tracks as I continued on over the handle bars. Nothing serious, just some bumps and bruises - it was actually kind of fun! My buddy, much more experienced rider, fell too so i didn't feel so bad.

Yes, next to this concrete jungle there is actually some forests.
