anyone has pics from today (Friday) on the LFP? Apparently some giant waves near Oak/North Ave?<br />

<p> My ride East, then South, this morning wasnt all that bad. The wind wasnt really up yet. Coming home this evening just after five PM was wet, but I was kitted out in all my rain gear so I stayed bone dry and warm. The tail wind I was lucky to have was a great boon. I love it when the wind is out of the East.</p>
<p>But it comes with a price, usually the East wind brings rain and hard weather.</p>

I rode the lakefront path 2x today, this morning I rode to the golf course and back(not sure how far south it is, like 79th) and then again later to the pier and back. wind was a lot easier to deal with from the side then straight on. It did rain on my way home from the pier.

<p>Ha ha ha...thanks, Gin! I've only done it once so far, so we'll see how it goes. Gotta start slowly and work my way up. I'm not sure if I'll get to the point where I'll do it every day, but I'd like to do it at least 2-3 times a week this summer. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It would help if the weather were decent...if it doesn't rain, I'm going to try again on Monday.</p>

I think 15 miles is a long way to ride to work even in still, mild weather. I am more of a 1/2 to five miler. Not that I can't/won't do longer rides, but not for routine trips.</p>

I took the bus today. Yesterday it was really windy on the ride home, and the forecast today made it sound even worse. Dark, windy, and raining isn't fun. Then again, neither is the #8 bus.
