Thanks for the article and pictures. I commute from Edgewater to the loop year-around and enjoy it a great deal. I’m the fat old guy riding a black recumbent.

Ride on!

@Dottie, the photos of your feast looked great. Glad you made it out for a bit of a “trot” yourself.

@rapps, I will pass along the praise. We kind of celebrated Christmas early, too, since one of my aunts won’t be in town for the X-Mas day. So the table was set in all the holiday best.

Tell your Mom she set a beautiful holiday table.

Looks like a great time! I love the picture of your mom looking out the window. Funny. I wish we could have at least ridden to the train station with you. I spent all day cooking in the morning though, stopping only to have our own personal turkey trot.

I could add a photo of the turkey… unfortunately the 3 mini turkeys were in the oven cooking while I posted. So good!

So, no pics of the turkeys on the table?

Nice job on the commute, by the way.

@Jay – yeah, I was able to fly with the wind at my back heading south. Felt great! (especially since I had a train to catch and still paused to take photos; battling the wind would have definitely slowed me down)

Shame that it took the conductor to move those people…I mean, that IS a designated bike space!

Cool times — I didn’t get to ride yesterday since I do all the cooking, but I’ll make up for it today.

Good job! I didn’t leave town for Thanksgiving but managed to get in a 14 mile ride today. In your first picture it looks like you rode south on the lakefront path. I rode north, and the wind that way was pretty cruel.
