It was such a nice day I decided after work I could ride to my son's football game in the suburbs 20 miles away in
Des Plaines IL.
Figured I could make it by halftime.

I Made it!

The beach shots are awesome.
Love the structure shots and the painted wall too.

"Two sizes too small"? So you admit it! Aha! :lol:
