I live in the NW suburbs of Chicago (35 miles outside). Any suggestions on local paths I can take my Squatch this weekend once the snow hits? Thanks all!

For anyone who went to the fall one, do you have to stay the full time or are there places to cut off the trail if you had to leave early?

There are 3 or 4 trails. Each takes 30-45 min.... I ran 2...

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking it was one trail that will take from 10am till 3pm

Nope. 3 trails and they reverse them in the afternoon. Huge crowd. Great time.

How are the trails at byron? Isn't it usually for motocross bikes except on special events?

It is, but after much encouragement, they open up a couple times a year for 4 wheelers. There is a length restriction. Trails are great. First time for me. Challenging but doable, though I didn't do the hard course. Height/tire size restriction on that. Great fun and community.

And, Huge note: remove your front plate, or it will be removed for you....

For those in Chicago suburbs/city and the surrounding area, I looked up car loan rates with Dupage Credit Union and they are running between 4.25% - 5.89%, depending on term of the loan. I didn't think that was as terrible as some other rates I've seen recently. This was online as of 1/1/2023, so this might be a little different now.
