Sunday ride from The Other Brother to Fort Sheridan and back

Felix, Pierre and I, together with two friends from Turin, Mike and Kevin, left The Other Brother (of Brothers K) at Grove and Sherman in Evanston shortly after 9:00 AM. Destination: Fort Sheridan. Conspicuously absent was another member of the 20+ MPH group, who (allegedly) was doing a far more strenuous workout somewhere else indoors.

We went at a moderate pace, the temperature was perhaps in the low or middle teens, with very little wind, and I felt fine, others seemed comfortable also. Once we got inside Fort Sheridan, some of us did a bit sprinting for fun. We then went for a brief break at Starbucks right outside Fort Sheridan.

It was a good ride, considering it was the middle of January. The roads were quite clean and dry, with snow by the sides of the roads. It was amazing that I was able to go crosscountry skiing with my son on the same day in the afternoon, and then ice-skating on a pond after dinner. Should have tried swimming and running, too, just to be complete.
