Plenty of clouds & plenty of humidity… another morning during this mini-heatwave we’re currently in. Luckily, my sunrise ride is early enough that the sun has not heated everything up yet… but it will. Until then… this morning was gorgeous & I was more than sweaty!!! Another great morning.

Another stunning sunrise… another sweaty morning! The clouds were impressive again… the humidity was oppressive!!! You know it’s going to be a “warm” ride when it’s already hot & sticky even before the sun has started to shine though. Done before the temps flare up later today to dangerous levels. It did feel great to make it into the shower when I got home!!!

And I couldn’t decide which panoramic shot was better… so you WIN!!!
Two panorama photos today as bigger skyshows need bigger photos!!

This morning definitely called for a panoramic shot of the sunrise skyshow!

This morning was filled with clouds & humidity! The skyshow kept changing as the clouds moved through. Every few minutes the sky had changed… and allowed the sun to peek through sending reflections across the rippled water. So serene… meanwhile, I was a sweaty mess. Literally dripping with sweat!!!

A very cloudy morning with very few people out on the lakefront trail?! Perhaps they all knew something that I didn’t??? As I pedaled south I felt strong riding into the wind.

When I turned around down by Navy Pier, I saw a big dark cloud moving in up north by my condo. I checked my weather app… and it said “rain starting in fifteen minutes.” And let’s just say… I was further from home than fifteen minutes. So… the ride home was fast & rainy… and once your wet, you can’t get any wetter!!!

It was like the City was wrapped in a single pink ribbon… RIP Dolly.

Quiet moments shimmering on the lake.
Another beautiful morning on my bike…
always the best way to start my day!

I couldn’t decide… so you’re getting TWO panoramic shots from this morning’s sunrise bike ride! Lucky you!!!

Once again, bigger skyshows require bigger photos! Gorgeous!!!
