it was a spectacular morning for a ride here in chicago!

63 degrees when i left, no wind, lowish-humidity, cloudless crystal clear skies (my route is 90% tree-canopied side streets, so i don't have to deal with much direct sun).

and the cherry on top of that bike commuting sundae? CPS is finally freaking done for the summer as of this morning (my morning route takes me past 4 different schools).
