Sunday June 8 - Lincoln's Home Recovery Ride

We couldn't complain a bit about the weather on Sunday - a beautiful day. We started at Panera - headed down the Wabash Trail, up over the Stanford overpass, past Four Seasons, and down 11th street. We looped around downdown past St. John's, then went down 5th street, turned down Capital, went up 2nd street and looped back around for a break at Lincoln's Home on 7th street. After a water break and a short picture session, we headed back out towards Washington Park, went through the park and continued on to our planned stop of day at Illini Country Club where our teammate Mary was just finishing her swim. We sat on the patio for some recovery refreshments - but no one knows for sure - were we recovering from the battle of elements from Saturday's ride? Or from the fish fry Saturday night at Dodie's? (where's my rum?) Either way it was a beautiful morning and a nice 16 miles.
