My favorite biking links

Well, there's the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation, which is sponsoring its annual Bike the Drive on May 27.

And there's a great site listing bike rides throughout the Midwest: http://www.mikebentley.com/bike/mwrides.htm

And, of course, I'm a big "rails to trails" fan, so their website is here: http://www.railtrails.org/index.html

And, last but not least, there's the Allegheny Valley Trails Association, in western Pennsylvania, where I ride with my family every summer. We especially like the part of the trail south of Franklin, towards the Belmar Bridge, because the boys can play in the creek feeding the Allegheny River.

Now, if only the temperature would get above 35 degrees, we'd be ready to ride!
