Cathy and I went to the Skokie Lagoons for a bike ride on the North Branch Bicycle Trail during the week to finally stretch out her bike's legs a little bit. It was a relatively short and leisurely 13 mile bike ride. It meanders through a forest preserve which provides abundant shade, it stops at various clearings with lagoon access, and we had a couple close encounters with some deer grazing mere feet away around the corner. It's a paved path, so it's more suitable for road bikes and joggers, but it was such a nice day it didn't even matter. Get ready for lots of green:

Panning shot of Cathy on the path. All smiles.
Our bikes, the path, and Cathy. Halfway through, decided to take a break in this clearing to enjoy the weather.
And of course the custom pink bottle cage on Cathy's bike, complete with pink Nalgene bottle.

I love these photos! I don't think I've ever seen Cathy in sneakers... are those actual cycling shoes?
Ok, what I really meant to say is who is that and what did she to to Cathy??
Also, I thought you'd like to know that the verification word for this comment is "turdnuzd" HA!
with some upgrades, those frames make for great bikes.
pink bottle cage is unfortunately not a performance upgrade :)
lol, I don't see her wear them much either. But she actually wears them all the time, she's an OT!
@anon
you kidding me? pink bottle cage increases max speed by 1.2 mph, didn't you know?
