Cycling Sisters

We had a wonderful Cycle-Sis ride to Wolf Lake this past Saturday. Great group of eleven, great weather, great Chicago views, and some wonderful surprises.

At our meet-up spot, the 57th Street Beach house, Tracy and Elfie, who CTA'd all the way from Lincoln Square, and Robin, who just moved to Chicago, arrived a little early and enjoyed the quiet of the lake in the morning light.

At 8:15 we headed south on the lakefront trail into a slight headwind at an easy pace between 10 and 11mph, maneuvering around packs of CARA marathon trainers.

On the bike lane on 41, we wound through the varied neighborhoods of South Shore and South Chicago and along the huge fenced empty lots of US Steel.

Tracy, Jeff, and Jen listening to the Lake. It is this quiet.

On the way to New York, Toy joins the Cycling Sisters to Wolf Lake: Leslie, Cynthia, Elfie, Toy, Liz, Jeff, Jen behind Mary, and Margaret.

Jane Healy and Cigdem Tunar shared their experiences on biking with kids to groceries on June 2006. Rules and safety issues highlighted along with a power point presentation. On this picture Jane is describing the items on her trailer she houls her kids to shopping-school-dry cleaner with her bike. It is approximately 100 Lbs. when filled with kids and their "stuff" she says. You can never have enough blinky and flags on a trailer she ads.

The presentation will be available to Cycling Sisters Members and related organizations if requsted thru: cido67@yahoo.com

This was--I think--the first bike maintenance workshop Kristin organized.
