A windy morning provided some gusty fun along the lakefront. Waves were crashing up over the shoreline. Wind whipping every which way. Seemed like it was “always” A headwind!!! But still, a beautiful ride with some nice photo-ops down on Chicago’s Navy Pier.

My chariot awaits…. ready for a very windy ride home with the flags flying horizintally!

Looks like it’s “Our Runway Day” with so many inbound flights to O’Hare lined up this morning.

With the kick-off of Fall, my morning sunrise bike rides have become more cloudy & moody.
Wisps of colorful clouds working their way through the darkness.

Dramatic clouds to kick-off the morning. With great potential for some stunning sunrise colors to come… and there was no disappointment. Mother Nature pulled out a great one this morning!

Another warm start to the day. With clouds spanning the sky, I had grand hopes for a sunrise spectacle. It was good, but not great… the clouds were beautifully colored, but then it kinda felt like it fizzled out a bit?! But the bike ride was still GREAT!!! Maybe I’m just getting jaded?… or maybe a sunrise snob???

After two full days of standing around working at the art fair, it felt GREAT to be back in the saddle this morning. The sunrise started slow, but sure ended with a bang!!!

Sweeping sunrise colors across the lakefront & skyline.

Another sweaty morning as this little summer “heatwave” continues to hang on.
And I’m all for it… keep Summer going!!! I’m not ready for Fall yet.

Even though TODAY is officially the first day of Fall.

Big sky. Big clouds. Big panoramic photo.

It’s going to be a warm one today! Even in the early morning hours before the sunrise, my ride was already warm & sweaty. Beautiful clouds drifting across the sky for another beautiful summer day.
