Good ride in... Not too warm (mid 70's) and NO WIND! Its amazing, you leave 1/2 hour early, and there is no wind.... Wife wont like it, but I sure do

.
Passed my first fellow commuter this morning (I think, that our just out for a ride on busy streets....). I had just crossed into Hammond IN, and was taking northcote N. He pulled out of the Cabella's construction site and was riding a very nice GIANT.... Ergonomic handlebars and all...(I'm jelous

) I didnt slow down, just said "hi". I got stuck a the light crossing Indianapolis Blvd.... He caught up just as the light turned green.... Seemd to be more out for a stroll.... Just an observation...
I need to see if its feesable to ride into Gary , IN (scary thought huh

). I start Nursing School in August and I'm not looking foward to buying a car... I'd love to ride to school.... would prove to people that I realy AM CRAZY to ride 10 miles each way in the Chicago winters....
Happy Biking!
Billy
