The second day of biking was tricky, as there had been a downpour that night/morning and we didn't want to get rained upon, but after checking the forecast for the day (no rain til that night!) we headed back out. I got to experience the hot and humid side of Chicago... gross! Yet as we neared the lake, that amazing cold wind swept in against the moist cloud of air enveloping the city, and biking to Northerly Island, the warm, moist air clung to the right side of my body as the cold lake air refreshed my left - such a strange sensation! Northerly Island is a former airport that the mayor had torn up one night after the Sept. 11 attack, and is now a bird sanctuary/prairie reserve where mostly bikers and segway tourists frequent. It was a great place to view the city from afar, and again be in an area of solitude on the edge of the city.
