Bike the Drive Chicago

This past weekend we participated in the 10th annual Chicago Bike the Drive. It's the one day of the year when Lake Shore drive is completely shut down from traffic and open to cyclists. The fun started at 5:30 in the morning. We got there about 6 am. Unfortunately this year is was a bit foggy, but that didn't stop the thousands of people from biking including Ryan and I. It was organized extremely well and fun no matter what riding level of experience you were. Two thumbs up to some of the kiddies that ate their Wheaties that day and completed the journey. It made me smile to even see kids with training wheels pedaling their little hearts out.


There were certain checkpoints and rest stops for those that needed a break. Thank you to Clif Bars for sponsoring our breakfast during the ride. What a fabulous pick me up to help us make it through to the finish line.(Love the white chocolate macadamia nut and blueberry crisp flavors)


When we finished our journey.....our butts were super sore, but that didn't stop us from going from tent to tent where there were a bunch of freebies and information on more rides.


This is definitely going to be one that we try and do again next year, it was a lot of fun. Hopefully next year the weather will be a bit better for taking pictures.
