Chicago’s 32nd Annual Late Ride

Posted on July 15th, 2007 by Douglas and viewed by 332 people

I left for David’s house around 10:30pm, and we made it down to Belmont Habor at 11:15pm. Ryan joined us from that point, and we went down to Grant Park. The crowd in the beginning didn’t seem very large, but slowly the 9,000+ people began to assemble. Click on any of the pictures below to see a larger version!

My number 5162, and we were in the Red Group.

The first group departed at 1:30am, and our group left at 2am. Here is the route map.

We arrived back at the Start / Finish around 4:30am with only one person having an accident. Sorry DAVID!

We enjoyed a few snacks, watching the sunrise, and then cycled back home.

I arrived back at the house at 6:45, and napped for 3 hours. Thanks again Mr. David!!

Cycling Through Chicago, 50 miles RT, to the Southside

Posted on July 14th, 2007 by Douglas and viewed by 116 people

The new bike is working out well! Since picking up the bike I’ve gone 155 miles. I had a trip of 3 days since grabbing it on 7/3 so was limited. Last Saturday was my greatest accomplishment, I cycled 50.24 miles in 2 hours and 45 minutes. I went down to the end of the LakeShore Drive and returned home. I typically go 16 or more miles per day when home. This evening is the Late Ride ( www.lateride.org ) through Chicago with David. It begins at 11pm, with the actual ride starting at 1:30 am and ending around 5am, after 25 miles through the city. Here is the end of Lake Shore… off 71 / Lake Shore

From the South, this is the view along the ride back, about 20 minutes into the return trip.

For the rest of the day I was a little tired, but didn’t catch a nap. Slept great on Saturday, and was off riding on Sunday.
