Very cool. I live in the NW burbs, near Schaumburg. I ride a lot on the roads west of here. It's easy to get into farm roads about 20 miles west. Great roads

I did a ride on the lakefront path a few weeks ago. The winds out of the south were insane, so I headed south first. The ride up from 79th to Hollywood was MUCH easier. I was going about 13 south, over 20 north. When I wasn't dodging people that is.

What race are you training for?
