Hope I'm not overlapping with someone else creating the thread...
46 miles ride today, with rain and wind in the first half. I really wanted to ride and was not willing to wait for the weather to clear. I will say, it's invigorating to feel the rain hitting your skin! (some imagination of epic stages in a grand tour help)
In the spirit of Fredwina, whose picture I alwaya enjoy, I'll share a couple of snapshots taken with the cell. I apologize for the smudges... did I mention it was raining?
First picture is a small bridge in Lake Forest; the second is the beach front in Lake Bluff (looking south) and the third is Fort Sheridan.
