Dropped the boys at hockey camp this morning with our bikes and our Ibuprofen already loaded on the van. Said adios to the boys and drove like hell toward downtown. Traffic was backed up!
But I was mostly concerned about someone getting too close to the back of us and smashing into about $1500 worth of bikes! But, we made it.
We parked in Lincoln Park for $30. Yeah, and it's free to get into the zoo. Hmmm
Then started biking along the Lake Shore Drive Trail. We biked through sand, and waves, and splash!
After 20 miles we decided to get some beer and lunch. The wind on the last 10 miles was right in our faces! A much harder work out in those 10 miles.
We had lunch at a little place on Broadway. It met both of our criteria; we could sit outside with our bikes, and they had cold beer!
After lunch and beer we rode to Wrigley Field!
After riding through Wrigleyville and back to our car we headed back to get the boys (Bo and Henry) in Bensenville. We were there early so we walked around the trail outside the rink. And on the last few hundred feet of the trail, dun, dun, dun, I RAN! Ok it was more of a jog, but I've been scared to run for the longest time. And it wasn't hard. I think I'll do it again tomorrow!
Definitely one of the best days I've had this year!
