7-9-17 Thomson to Savanna Revisited

Drove up to Thomson, Ilto ride from Thomson to Savanna,IL, we rode this several years ago and decided it was time to ride it again. It was a great day for a ride.

This was our Starting point at Thomson Causeway Recreational Area, beautiful Restroom facilities.

About 5 miles north of Thomson you start into the canopy of trees, makes for a cool ride.

We stopped for a short water break. Note my "Flare" Tail Light, nice and bright and blinking.

Not to much farther you come upon the first of two bridges.

The path is very well maintained.

On the east side for part of the way is Misquakee Lake.

This is the Railroad Overpass Bridge at Savanna, IL.

Here is a YouTube link for a video I shot riding theu the Canopy of Trees.

Here is a picture of me on the Sun EX Tad EZ.

Here is a Heads Up, when riding on a Recumbent Trike, be sure to use good Sunscreen or wear Biker pants, I didn't do either and here is the results, your legs are laid out nice and flat in the sun and for about 2 hours duration, I ended up with a good burn.

Learn from my mistake!
