The river bottoms are currently mostly free of bugs (except for the emerald ash borer) making it an excellent time to ride them. I do worry what the landscape will look like once the ash borer has finished decimating the ash trees throughout the area. This ride is a good mix of pavement and trails, ideal for my gravel bike.
