Ha! I had a Guinness float at a joint up in Lincoln Square. I love ice cream and I love Guinness, but some things, like these are best enjoyed separately.

My standing rule is that if my commute is over 90F then I stop for ice cream on the way home. This summer's temps have forced me to amend the rule - if over 95F then I stop for a beer. Not sure what I should do if it's over 100F.

Since my herbs are doing wonderfully, I've found a refresher to replace my traditional post ride Bud Light (at least while it's HellHot outside). In a pint glass I put orange mint, taragon, basil, and one lime quartered; muddle that with a packet of splenda; fill with ice and water; mix. Yummy!
Would probably be good with an ounce of vodka or rum as well...

Did you notice the debris left behind in the fireworks staging area south of the harbor this morning? Must have been some display. Too bad they couldn't be bothered to clean up after themselves. Cops must take a laissez faire approach to these displays.

I did not get that far south, but Belmont Harbor's north point was all cleaned up by 10:15 this morning.

The fireworks display from south of Belmont Harbor was as good as or better than fireworks I have seen off Navy Pier. We were wondering who was doing it. If a mess was left, seems it was private rather than some organization. I usually ride through about 7:15 a.m., but chickened out today.
The north side was quite a mess early this morning with trash from the all day picnickers. Glad to hear it is cleaned up.

11:00 to 1:00. One of those days when it is nice to face a headwind.

There was a whole good sized tree toppled from its base on the west side of the LFP between Diversey and Fullerton this morning. Was not too bad heading in. Hoping for the wind to shift to the northeast for the ride home!

LOL! LFP at 9:30 a.m. looked like a warm Saturday afternoon. Wind from the northeast was wonderful both ways.

Wonderful to avoid melting in my walk with my spouse (won't ride with the likes of me); then a spin to the Morton Arboretum with my youngest son. Wonderful to see as many cyclists as cars on the way from Wheaton--then more walkers and cyclists than cars on the Arboretum's paved paths... It really is a new second decade, in a new century. This old fart remembers be the odd duck on the roads back in the day ('60s-90s). Way to go American's and the efforts of clubs & advocacy, e.g. Alliance for Transportation Alternatives (still thinking that ChiBikeFed should remain the name).
