For attitude, proper meme deployment and technical ability I would like to inform the world I now have an insane crush on Jennifer on the Lake.

Thank you for re-posting that footage. Perhaps I have evil in my heart, but I love watching that runner ( at :38) get blasted twice. Whoomp! there it is!

but forgot to include:

-the fucking air and water show

[which has a special place in my hateful heart since every year I get to the that stretch north of Navy Pier (I call it the velodrome since it's at a tilt and its one of the places you can go full on) and it's slammed and I realize my ride is shot)]

Oh, you're one of *those* guys. Heh.

Other than the air and water show and a few weekend charity run/walk events even on the worst days it's better than the streets.

Except maybe these days:

I can laugh because I rode through Oak Street around six that evening and while I didn't get soaked I did experience enough water to bring my to a full stop.  It was a weird feeling, for sure.  The trick I've learned is to not be too close to the wall.

If you want to really enjoy the LFP, even in the height of summer, ride between 5:00am and 7:00am.  You'll still get a handful of dopey cross-the-path-without-looking runners, sunrise gazers, and early morning walkers, but you'll avoid the kids and much of the seasonal stuff.
