Chicago's "Bike the Drive" -- Andy's First Participation -- May 27, 2012

Where I entered the drive at Fullerton at about 6:20 AM

Me, with Lake Point Tower and the beaches in background

A photo taken while riding south -- at that early hour there were not too many riders, but still some on the drive mainly heading north

An early shot heading south showing the Hancock building

A bit further south showing Lake Point Tower and Navy Pier -- on the drive I averaged at least 17 mph even into the headwind, much faster than the lakeshore trail

A bit closer to Lake Point Tower

Reflections in the Chicago River from the LSD bridge looking west

Jackson Street where most riders entered the drive either going north or south
