L.A.T.E. Ride 2008
For years, I have heard about the McDonald's L.A.T.E. Ride in Chicago, but I never really figured I would participate. A few months ago, my wife's former boss asked if we would be interested in 45-mile bike ride fundraiser in Kane County along the Fox River. We agreed, and I decided it was time to start training. By training, I mean get my bike repaired and actually ride once again.
I started to remember that Dave had a bike page on his old website. A few years ago, I meant to sign up and use that site. Since I registered for the Fox River ride, one of my friends suggested we try the L.A.T.E. Ride in Chicago on Saturday night and Sunday morning.
In a few minutes, I'll be off for a 25-mile bike ride through downtown Chicago, north side neighborhoods and the lakefront. The ride begins at 1:30 a.m. on Sunday. Does anyone have a 5-hour energy drink? I might need one. Since this is a McDonald's sponsored event, maybe they will have McGriddles at the end. Hmmm.

1) Good luck-hope you have good weather.
dannie Saturday, July 12, 20082) It's cooling down, so it looks good.
Bill Saturday, July 12, 20083) You make me want to get my bike out and hit the road. I hope you have fun! Good luck!
Leslie Saturday, July 12, 20084) Sounds like a great ride. In August, St. Louis holds the Moonlight Ramble. A 10 or 20 mile night ride that begins at midnight. I am hoping to that this year.
shoo Sunday, July 13, 20085) We ended up finishing just over two hours and 20 minutes. Very cool event.
