An historic ride to Busse Woods, as I followed the final Space Shuttle launch (STS-135) on my iPhone and with a portable radio. I enjoyed clear skies, temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s, and light southerly winds. Started my ride at 8:30 a.m. and returned home at 11:45. Home . . . to Cloverdale to Lawrence to [trail] to Lawrence to [Springfield Park] to Royal to Scenic to William to [Lake Street Bridge] to Rosedale to Forest to Rosedale to Heritage to Valley to Pine to Hill to Central to [Roselle Starbucks] to Main to Prospect to Granville to Ambleside to Devon to Plum Grove to Oriole to Bluejay to Longboat to Schooner to [path] to Wise (becomes Biesterfield) to White Trail to Rohlwing to [bike path] to Busse Woods trail. I followed the loop in a CCW direction. At 10:25, I pulled over within a parking lot off of Higgins Road and listened to the the live coverage of the final Space Shuttle launch using a portable radio and iPhone. After completing one loop of Busse Woods Trail, I retraced my path back to Plum Grove to [Roselle Metra Station] to Maple to Prospect to [path] to Bryn Mawr to Lake to Keeney to Argyle to Virginia to Lawrence to [Mallard Lake Forest Preserve: 3 loops of parking lot] to Cloverdale . . . to Home.
