Participated in Bike the Drive for my fifth consecutive year. Starting at the Fairmont Hotel (at 5:35), I took Columbus to Randolph to a park path that led to Monroe and then to the starting point at Jackson and Lake Shore Drive. Riding onto Lake Shore Drive at 5:43, I headed south on LSD and rode to the southernmost point of the loop at the Museum of Science and Industry (at 6:13); then rode back to start/finish (at 6:57); then rode to the northernmost point of the loop at Bryn Mawr (at 7:37). I then rode south past the start/finish (8:28), rode again to MSI (at 9:09) and back, rode past Grant Park (at 9:39) and continued about 2 miles past Grant Park, portaged over the grassy median (at 9:51), and rode back to Grant Park. Skies ranged from a mostly cloudy at the start to mostly sunny after about the first hour. After that, there was a mix of clouds and sun, with more sunny times than cloudy. On a day that would later shatter a 101 year old record with a 97 degree high temperature, I started my ride with a temperature of about 66 degrees, and it reached the mid-80s by the end of the ride. I wore original style Livestrong jersey and Specialized shorts. I stopped many times to take photos and video clips with my iPhone.
