Amazing Ride, IL – Chicago you are a definitely a butt burner. Wove my way from Zion, IL through Chicago and drifted into Indiana in such a stealth fashion I didn’t even know I crossed the state line.
A couple highlights on the day…
- Got into the Windy City on some fabulous bike paths. A majority were well paved and well marked and the others weren’t. But I met a lot of helpful young moms pushing baby strollers. Impressive that they knew how to give excellent directions – both by street names and landmarks. ”Take a left on Sheridan and you’ll see a Starbucks and Jewel Osco…”
-
- There is a phenomenal path that runs parallel to the passenger rail line. The train stops are well marked with cute depots surrounded by lovely architecture including church steeples, trendy shops and, most encouraging, bike racks packed with the 2-wheelers of commuters who hopped the train to head to work.
- Spent most of the day on the popular Lakeshore Trail. It’s a good 20+ miles of direct south with a beautiful view of Lake Michigan and popular attractions like Navy Pier, the Shedd Aquarium, and local artwork.
- Oh poop. Found a bubbler to fill my water bottle and I must say it is chock full of chemicals that have really cleaned me out. It was also warm… like hose water. But if I had my druthers, I prefer the latter.
