It was the spitting in the face kind of wetness!

What a nice, but a little wet, day for a ride. Lincoln Sq to Oak Park.

Notes to self:

1) while it's beautiful riding through a rainy forest, avoid braking on piles of wet leaves.

2) buy some rain pants--my jeans are still soggy after only a two mile ride.

The rain was a delight. I had a raincoat, the trunk rack has its own raincoat and the temperature made it so the raincoat did not create its own weather system inside. I met with three other well prepared riders who were likely called loons by spouses and colleagues.  Loons fly through the rain laughing all the way. Lets hear it for fenders.

My husband asked me if I wanted him to drive me to work today!

Mostly moist coming an going.  The LFP was abandoned, except for a few laughing loons.

Jeff, coming from the south side? Is it Northerly Island? Great photos.

Thanks.  It is Northerly.  I come from the north side, but use it to add 4-5 miles to my commute to the loop.  I just love the purples and yellows together so I had to stop to take the photos while I still had the chance.  Not many more nice days like this left this year.

Soaked yesterday, dark and cold by the time I get out of here today.  At least it's the end of the week.
