Chicago, IL- Grayslake, IL



Do you ever have dreams that feel realistic, but are clearly to bizarre to be real? Today was a real day..but it felt really bizarre we were woken up late at 7:30 because we had a really short bike ride today (40 miles.) and then were served cotton candy for breakfast by Craig and his Father.  After that we all went to coffee at Beans and Bagels again and locked at least 15 bikes in a tiny rack and rode to our destination by 1pm.  Along the way we Kate, Bobby and I met a cyclist from GA with calve muscles at least the size of my head who had just finished a 27mile run the previous day in GA and now was in IL to ride bicycle races everyday in the area for the next 2 weeks, he rode along side of me and talked.  Perhaps the only things that seemed fake to me were the cotton candy and the calve muscles....
