We saw Chicago from a brand new pesrpective yesterday with a group from church (WCC) and 2nd Mile Adventures.
I've been to Chicago quite a few times, but enjoying the lakeshore and exploring the city by bike is definitely the best way. I never realized just how awesome the lakeshore really is and I felt much safer cycling the streets of downtown Chicago than I do on the country roads in Indiana.
Chicago has a wonderful network of bike paths. Highlights of our tour included the site of the first sustained nuclear reaction, a Frank Lloyd Wright home, China town and Wrigley Field.
We also had a few detours.
Fortunately, you can find a Starbuck's on almost every corner and almost anything else you can imagine in the city . . . . . so even if the guy on the corner couldn't have given us directions, we conveniently stopped right in front of The Map Room --- good for directions and re-fueling.
Who won the yellow jersey?
This was only the first stage, but I feel like I'm wearing the yellow jersey after finishing a 35-mile season opener without any soreness today!
Please put more captions on the other picture site so we can enjoyed more of what your experiencing what your seeing and showing us.
