What should have been a pleasant 4 hour ride and fun overnighter turned into a real pain in the legs due to 20+ MPH headwinds for the whole trip there. The trip back (over the same route) was a lot more fun as any winds I had were of the tail variety.
While fighting the winds and my thoughts of giving up on the trip, I did discover that Plainfield has a really nice system of bike ways running through the city. I can't say how much use these trails get, but I will say that the parts I was on were really nice and seemed to be quite well thought out and maintained. I would also mention that the time I was on the streets, and not the bikeways, (mostly on US 40) the drivers in Plainfield were generally considerate, and the shoulders were clean. So, Kudos to the Town of Plainfield.
