Seven consecutive days of 40+ degree days... at least according to Jerry Taft and whoever updates the iPhone weather app.  Took full advantage of today by finally riding down to check out the Velo Campus at 86th and Lake Shore.  I didn't get shot or mugged by a flash mob, so this was a successful trip beyond the usual turn around point at 65th.

After 2:05 on the bike I stopped of at Engine 13's quarters to see the guys and try one of Tony's new recipes.  Got in a quick 4 mile run on the lake and a brief weight circuit before the meal.  Then it was back on the Giant heading north on Lake Sore Drive.  Concrete mountains rearn' up, throwin shadows just about five.

Of course the engine was out of quarters, so no photo op... but you can always count on Truck 6 to be home!  Kidding guys, kind of.

Salad, chicken, fruit, and nuts at the firehouse? Felt like the twilight zone.
