The transition from winter to summer has included an unseasonably cool spring. Finally, on Mother's Day, the weather was very good. It still could have been a bit warmer, but it was hard to complain with the deep blue skies covering Chicago. My family took out the bikes for the first time this year. I used the MAP MY RIDE application on my phone to calculate that we traveled 16 miles. We stopped to have a picnic lunch near the Adler Planetarium. And my wife, Jennifer and daughter, Sara, saw some parts of of Lake Shore Drive that they had never seen before. The same parts that I had only discovered late last year on one of my solo bike rides. Before we got underway I spent one hour on the treadmill, so yesterday was an active day for me, which was in stark contrast to so many of the days spent doing nothing in the previous month.

We took a bunch of photos yesterday. The surreal photos with the giant carved insects were among my favorites.

MAP MY RIDE application is 'very generous' when it calculates calories burned... There is no way that this bike ride burned 1174 calories. I am completely aware that this number is a complete fiction. I do have much more faith in the accuracy of the total miles that we rode. In fact, there is little question that we traveled a total of 16 miles in our roundtrip excursion.
