Participated in my third consecutive UPAF Ride for the Arts, which began and ended at Milwaukee's Summerfest grounds. I rode with "Team GLPA" consisting of Gary S., Dave D., Bob B., Geoff H., Chris J. and me. Bob B. rode the 50 mile route and the rest of us rode the 25 mile Hoan ride. We began our ride at about 7:38 a.m., a few minutes earlier than scheduled. We were released in waves, rode a short distance, then ascended ramps to the Daniel Hoan Bridge (@ 7:49). After crossing the bridge, we continued southward along the Lake Michigan shore to the rest stop at the Marion Center to the rest stop and turnaround point in Grant Park (@ 9:00) to the Oasis Coast Guard Station (@10:05) and back to the start/finish line (@ 10:46). During a significant portion of the ride, I maintained close contact with my team mates, which limited my speed. However, I also did speed play exercises with my fellow riders, took their photos as they rode by, caught up with them again, then started the cycle again. The weather was abnormally chilly throughout the ride, especially on the return trip due to northerly head winds. Skies were cloudy from start to finish, with temperatures in the low- to mid-50s. I wore old style Livestrong jersey over the official ride t-shirt over long sleeve base layer with Specialized tights, wool socks, and regular cycling gloves. I brought winter gloves but did not wear them.
