Early morning ride with Mplscoaster.

[Skipton]

Mplscoaster came to Chicago this weekend. Steve was nice enough to agree to a 6am ride though downtown.

I even got to ride the Shelby Path Racer..

Bikes parked on the Micagain Ave bridge.

Steve getting a much better pic of the bikes... You know it's early when Michigan Ave is this empty.

On the river Trump tower in background.

More pics of pic taking

Steve on the Monark.

Having a blast!

Best view of the city.

I'm sure Steve has some more pics to come.
I had such a great time on a perfect day for a ride.

Great photos! I wish I could be there... ripping off siding in a few min. (Slow start) maybe my stars will line up next time Steve's in town.

Thanks guys for the great comments!
We missed you Gary but maybe next year...

So it was really cool of Skipton to take me out for a early morning ride
He met me at the Hotel Lincoln where my Wife and me were staying
The picture is a bit blurry cause the camera and me are still waking up
and Skip is already full-tilt explaining how the seat post is angled yet not bent :lol:

We went ripping of towards Downtown, still a bit blurry but the caffeine is starting to kick in

Chicago is so cool architecturally so lots of opps to get good pics

As Skip said, not a lot of traffic helped get this cool shot of the bikes

Went down along the river and shot upward

Our bikes sure look cool together

Chicago is so great with lots of paths and bike lanes to explore
Awesome to have Skipton as an enthusiastic tour guide
This is the first time I've seen him in a non Pretzel, cause he's on my Shelby :lol:

In Skip's 6th pic, I wasn't in pain being in the Monark's pretzel position, I'm just that ugly :lol:
Thankfully he got me from a better angle the next time
The Monark was really fun like a fat tired Hot Rod truck that's smooth and fast

More pics of pic taking :lol:

Definitely one of the coolest shots of the city, the path racers...

I'll save the one Skipton took of me for my Ridin' thread
SUPER SKIPPY!! :lol:

It's such a blast to ride along the edge of the lake (about 20ft drop off the wall), One last shot of the ride

I'll try to post more on Kevin's and my riding threads
So many pics to choose from: I Love Chicago! Thanks again Skipton!
Thanks for looking
Steve
