ride home from school

shouldnt everyone’s commute be this good?

i was riding home from school and decided to take a slight detour. i turned up some random gravel road that branches off from one of my normal routes. i dont normally randomly trespass, but i’m pretty sure it was school property, or hospital property, plus, the gate was open. so i climb this short road which leads to a big semi mowed grass field over looking Lemont. Here is that picture:

so i figured, there was one open gate, i bet there anouther, to kind of get off this hill. so i rode across this field for a while, found a closed but unlocked gate which seemed to grant me access down a long grassy slope, to the road below.

so there is the hill, and it looks pretty steep, and it was. i had to switch back down it. at the bottom i found anouther gate, opened it, and was back on the road. the next pic down is that road, which i think is pretty scenic and stuff.

i rode along the road, until i got to a grass trail, which follows a little stream back to the road my house is off of. that was an akward sentance but i am not going to fix it, no how. you cross a little covered bridge over the stream at the end of the trail, and that view from said bridge is below.

and lastly, my ride finishes by climbing a couple a few hills, via this road. its nice to live half way up a cool mtn. word. i basically just posted that to make all you city folk pissed off.
