Sunday morning, 4:30 a.m. The sun was coming up over Navy Pier when we headed out northbound on Lake Shore Drive.
I have never been on such a wonderful ride in my life. The skyscrapers are up close and personal. The breeze off Lake Michigan is phenomenal. The exhileration of completing 30 miles all before 10:00 is not to be denied. Such a fabulous way to begin Summer; such a lovely city.
(I didn't ask my mother permission to post her picture, but you can imagine her: a pretty petite blonde, whose Mother's Day present this was. Thank goodness she loves adventure, and inspires me to leave my reading chair.)

Such a cute pic :) I would LOVE to do something like this :D Looks like tons of fun!
ReplyDeleteSome of us look cuter with our bicycle helmets off and our lipstick on, but this wasn't a day for beauty. Except all around me in Chicago. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's good to do something out of the ordinary...
What fun!! I need to get out on the bike trail again! We're in San Diego for the long weekend and having a wonderful time visiting my brother and his family. The weather is beautiful. I may never go home!
ReplyDeleteSuch an energizing experience! Good for all of you :)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Always good to see a book lover out there doing something physical for a change. ;) Wish I could do more outdoorsy stuff this summer!
ReplyDeleteCool! Looks like a gorgeous ride. Further incentive to get out on the bike this summer myself. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAn experience indeed. Sadly, I have news. I don't know how to bike! That view is fantastic! We spotted a huge city view on the mall's parking lot and with just that, we were in awe. You never see much here.
ReplyDeleteEarly morning bike rides really are the best. And just from that one shot, I can really see why movies set in Chicago are often filmed in Toronto!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your ride. And how fun to bike down Lake Shore Drive with no car traffic. I love that.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely pictures, and so much fun for both of you :)
