…and how I
achieved it today. You can, too, by
following these simple instructions.
Start by biking to the CTA Blue Line. Catch a train and take it to Racine. Once up the ramp, bike Racine down to
Roosevelt Road and east on Roosevelt to the Lakefront Trail. Proceed north nine miles to end of trail,
then switch over to the one that connects to Sheridan Road. Take Sheridan north into Evanston and switch
over to Central.
Take Central to
Green Bay Road and Green Bay north into Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka and
Glencoe. Turn left at Dundee Road and
proceed west to the Chicago Botanic Garden.
Stop there for lunch, then head home by taking the North Branch of the
Chicago River trail. At trail’s end,
find Nagle Avenue and proceed south to Gunnison, west on Gunnison to Oak Park
Avenue, south on Oak Park until back home, or in hospital. The entire trip should take no more than six
hours.
Doing this, I
was able to clear my head at some in the journey to come upon a profound truth,
that only in Chicago could a 3-13 football team dominate the sports’
scene. Who’s going to play quarterback? Who’s going to kick? Will the receivers be any better? Did you see Virginia McCaskey out among the
peasants? Visitors who get a load of
this have to wonder what’s wrong with us.
Jeez, it’s mid-August, and the 3-13 Bears command the sports-world’s
full attention. Turn away, people, turn
away.
