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.
