Rollin', Rollin', Rollin', Man My Ass is Swolen...


This morning I was awake at 3:00 a.m. to get ready for a very wet Bike the Drive. This is an annual event and a kickoff to Chicago's Bicycling Federation's season. I've heard that Bike the Drive can be fun in nice weather. And we did have nice weather...immediately following our ride.
It's okay though, cause a good time was had by all. Our trip took us north on Lake Shore Drive to Hollywood and then south to the Museum of Science and Industry, 30 miles in all. The novelty of seeing the Drive with NO cars and then biking on it, was just too much for me to pass up.

Here I am around 5:40 a.m. looking oh so fashionable *roll eyes* in my helmet.








Here's my crew, Sheryl, Leo and Wayne. I think the ball cap look was the way to go! We decided we all looked like dorks and figured the rain was just going to make a mess of us so we might as well just enjoy it!



Pelted by rain and soaked to the skin, our enthusiasm was not diminished. This was the halfway point. The two red gates indicated the North and South routes. We're pointing to the south route since we were heading there next.





And here's the 3/4 point at the Museum of Science and Industry.





And here I am feining enthusiasm for the end. Actually, I was glad it was the end. And Wayne managed to get the Sears Tower in the background...nice!

So until next year....or perhaps I might find myself floating in the water with a tropical drink instead. We shall see.

All Part of Getting Old


You may know that I LOVE magazines. I used to buy a ton of them. I've recently scaled back. But I had to giggle to myself today when I thought about the types of magazines I buy. I used to buy "Glamour" and "Mademoiselle", "People" and even an occasional "Vogue". Now when I do buy magazines they're "Health", "Cooking Light", "Fitness" and my gift subscription "Real Simple". Ah, how your priorities change! :-)
