I think I clocked out of my parking lot @ IIT @ 7:38 and rolled up to 18th St. just a few minutes after they opened. I stopped once at the Burger King to grab a bite to eat and refill my water bottle (and paused this on Strava). Here's my complete Strava data:

The trail around the South

The trail around the South Shore Cultural Center is very nice, I always enjoyed riding there, and over by Rainbow Beach.

Wow, great photos guys! Thanks for capturing the day. And those drafts tasted soooo much better @ $3 a pop! ;) Thanks to Drew & Ken for setting that up.
