Today was the ride to Chicago day. The plan was to leave at 6:00 AM and head up north on Lake Shore drive to Sheridan all the way up to Lake Cook rood. It takes you past beautiful landscape, lake view, great architecture and incredible houses. This route goes through Downtown Chicago, Evantson, Wilmette and Winnetka. You can stop at the Bhaii Temple (which is known for its architectural beauty and a peaceful place to reflect) and also the Botanical garden.
I had the bike sparkling last night for the trip. We did get up early and left by 6:30 AM only to ride through a dense fog. Beads of water were forming on my gloves, boots and windshield. The visibility was about 50 feet and with the water covering the wind shield it was becoming a game all by itself. Cars looks like blurry shadows darting out into the streets. We decided to turn around. A 3 hour ride turned into a 20 minute adventure. From a positive perspective, I learned about fog riding. Two words...Pull Over. If you have to keep riding, get ready to get wet and ride real slow.
