Breakfast club ride met at the clock tower as scheduled and was superbly led by Sharon of CCC. Or is it EBC? Enjoyable folks to ride and eat with.Tour of North Park led by Lee, was terrific. He knows his architectural history, facts and details. Bonus for me. We rode through Legion Park where I grew up, processing mass quantities of Stroh's
and Old Style.
Great weather, witty and entertaining people to ride with. In contrast to my commuting which is solo.
An astute observation by Joe from the Breakfast Club Ride. Runners seldom get together for social runs, they're meeting up to compete. Bike driving in a social group can be the complete opposite end of the spectrum. And it's cool for me to learn and participate in different rides. I encourage the growing number of commuters to find a group with a pace you enjoy and BIKES AWAY...

I disagree, there's quite a few social runs happening all around chicago. For example, fleet feet has 3 runs a week at each store including runs dedicated for women. Other running stores tend to have similar things and the various running groups do as well. There's even a running version of the marauders ride/fbc called hash hour harriers that's been going on around the world since the late 1930s.

Whoops, couldn't think straight today (when can a wingnut?).
The architectural tour Lee Diamond led went pasted Bohemian National Cemetery, Foster, Pulaski,
Bryn Mawr and North Eastern Univ. U.S. Marshals, Tommy Lee, Wesley Snipes and Robert Downey Jr. was filmed there in '98. ; )
I couldn't spit that factoid out to save my life earlier today.

Yep, perception Vs reality. Two bike guys chatting at breakfast, an the topic turns to runners. Wrong direction too. Thanks, S.
Dances with light. WOW The shimmering reflection in the lagoon, cool.

Thanks, I fully accept the native American name. I am honored by it.
This whole thing of daily photo-logging my rides has improved my skills and pushes me. Being more observant, my ability to recognize a shot and the achnowledgement that I need to tell a story in each photo are all enhanced daily.
Thanks for your thoughts; I am motivated by them.

Gene, your pictures inspired me to bring my camera on my ride to the end of the LFP today. Quality is nowhere near your pictures, but I tried.

Thanks. That pic is probably my favorite. More to follow. Perhaps we get a photoshoot ride put together? *light bulb*

When the weather warms a bit, a weekend photo-ride would be a delight. Stay tuned.
