A new mountain bike and running trail opened Wednesday in northwest Cook County,
HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. --The trail has a mix of areas, for both beginners and advanced riders.
"It's amazing," said bike rider Judy Schneider. "You never stop pedaling lots of tights turn it's a great community." "This one is unique because it appeals to a very broad range of people," Mike Angus, executive director of Chicago Area Mountain Bikers, said. "If you look at the southeast corner over here it appeals to a very beginner type rider and as you go around clockwise to the other side of things it appeals more to the advanced rider.
"To date, we've spent just short of 4,000 hours in building the trail we have a core group of 25 people that are literally here every week and overall 150 different individuals have helped build this trail."
