Another clear day… not a cloud in the sky! Just starting the day with some heat & humidity… already feels like it’s going to be another hot one today. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!!!

Sunrise serenity along the lake this morning.
Very little wind & very few clouds on the horizon.
A quiet start to another beautiful summer day.

A beautiful morning along the lake with plenty of clouds for some added sunrise drama. An ever-changing sky show as I pedaled along this morning. Lots to see. Lots of fun!!!

Meanwhile… looking back over my shoulder there was some drama brewing behind me.
It didn’t look like much in terms of weather… just some great colors, clouds & contrast.

With a bit of humidity back in the air, this morning’s ride was calm, quiet & a little sticky. Low-flying clouds on the horizon made for a delayed start… but it was well worth the wait!

Plenty of clouds & plenty of fun! It was a beautiful morning for a sunrise bike ride! The oppressive heatwave & humidity seems to have broken & left Chicago for awhile. So it was quite nice this morning. As I had to “work-up a sweat”… not just “wake-up in a sweat”!!!

On a clear day… you can see forever!
And today was one of those says with not a cloud in the sky!!!
Sure, still a lot of heat & humidity… but no clouds!!!

Burning through the haze! We greeted the morning with warm temps & humidity… with a layer of haze hanging low on the horizon. It took awhile for the sun to work its way through the haze… as I could feel the temps rising quickly already as I was pedaling. It’s going to be another hot one today!!! Stay safe.

Another early start for another beautiful sunrise. Thought I should get in some miles before the heat kicks in… as we’re supposed to be getting a little burst of a heatwave for the next few days… starting today!!! The heat & humidity is coming… hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!!!
