Sloppy, but quiet, out there on the Lakefront this morning. If it weren't so hot & humid, it would almost be great out there.

Only road to Chicago this morning, but seemed that I was passed by the usual suspects :-)

Hi Lisa! I think I passed you! I recently discovered the showers at work and now I ride a little harder in the mornings than I used to.

Yeah, its been pretty hot. I've been riding every day. This morning, even though it was in the 70's seemed almost as bad as last night - it was crazy humid this morning.

My problem is not being motivated to ride, but being motivated to wrench. The shifter cable on my three speed has been busted for about a week now and I just can't bring myself to start working on it - even though the basement bike shop is a lot cooler than the 2nd floor apartment.

Hi Lizzy.  If you were riding between Addison and Chicago between 7:20 and 7:50 you probably did pass me--everyone does!  And although I always won the spelling bees in grammar school I still wrote "road" instead of "rode".  Good thing there are no nuns around.

Shot 6761, Gene's just playing around with the mote in God's eye again?

There is an awful lot of creative genius in Gene's photos.

Oh what a beautiful morning . . .north on the LFP from Belmont Harbor to Sheridan was everything that makes being in Chicago in the summer the best.  Cyclists on every type of ride imaginable, walkers, joggers, runners, dogs, skate boarders, roller bladers, tennis players, golfers, softball, soccer, boats, sunny skies, lake breeze, low humidity, and even some sort of glider thing with a motor in the sky above Bryn Mawr
