McDonald’s LATE Ride

Forgot to post this pic this past weekend because I think I was jet lagged from staying up all night to bike. Saturday the 12th was Justin Winget’s birthday and we all went over to Cafe Ba Ba Reeba for some delicious tapas and sangria. YUM!

Then at midnight Justin, Bobby, and I did the McDonald’s L.A.T.E. ride…a 25 mile bike ride that’s proceeds benefit Friends of the Parks, a 33-year-old not-for-profit parks advocacy group whose mission is to protect and improve Chicago’s parks and forest preserves in Cook County. It was fun and nice to hang out with J.Win for awhile! I’ve never done a bike race (well, this wasn’t really a race), but I look forward to doing another one like this soon….I think I’m really into biking. I might have to consider getting a new bike though – mine isn’t really a road bike…its got “off road” tires. Anyway I’m rambling…here’s a pic of Justin, Bobby, and I right after the ride at around 4:30AM. :) Fun fun!
