Didn't ride to work today, but did the Evanston RoS this evening. Thanks to David Barish for setting it up and Chris Mailing and the folks at Wheel & Sprocket for providing shirts for the riders and pizza and beverages afterwards.

So I was told at the start. (In fact, I was told some of the beverages were of the sudsy variety.) Interestingly enough, the route rolled right past my house at about the nine-mile mark. It was starting to get a bit dark. I couldn't see riding to the end point and then home in the dark.
What a beautiful ride on LFP. Lake was flat as a mirror!
I was running a bit late today and took Clark St instead. Sorry I missed the lake. I love it when it's glassy.

Nice day heading out to O'Hare, too; especially the stretch of Higgins west of E. River -- surrounded by trees, wide open, and the temp drops a good ten degrees from the shade. It ain't the lake, but cool, green and fast can be pretty sweet, too. :)
you rode your bike to O'hare?

Plot twist: it was a flying bike.

LOL, Adam. Not quite, but since it's a swb/uss recumbent, with a full fairing, it does seem to come close at times. And yes, Julie; I work at the NE corner of the field (bit west of Mannheim/Higgins), so that's been my year-round commute for some time now. A hair over 8 mi from home plate, near Oak Park/Addison.
