Day 15 - 64 miles

* Total = 946
* Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore to Chicago

We made it to Chicago!!!! Our morning started out by checking out the dunes. As far as we could tell there wasn't any dunes, but it was nice wading in the water that someone told us was a warm 71 degrees.

We than made it through Gary, which wasn't even close to as bad as people said it was going to be. They made it seem like we were putting our life on the line. Gary led to East Chicago and than perhaps the lamest state border sign we will come across on the whole trip.


The ride into Chicago was nice once we hit the Lakeshore Bike Path. We took that all the way past Navy Pier and the main downtown area, before hitting the streets of Chicago for the ride West to Oak Park.

Right now were sitting in Adam's backyard resting until him and his family comes home. We have plans to eat, visit friends, and rest during our time here. We will take off for Day 16 of riding on Sunday the 29th. Until than you can give me a call if you want to chat.
