I needed to park the Tiger on the street today. The garage was closed off due to Greek-fest. The green cat-bike looked cool in front of the vintage brickwork and under a dappled tree canopy.

Michigan Avenue
… over The Magnificent Mile. Nice detour along this prominent street from the River north to the Lake.

Country Road
– perfect weather allowed us to explore a few more back roads through the agricultural setting of Lake County. This gravel lane in particular was especially inviting. Shoulder height corn field to port and fallow arable to starboard. White farm building clusters ahead.

Grate Roads
– many of the City’s bridges have open metal decks. It makes the tires a little squirrelly, and you can see the water below. But they’re used effectively for the many bascule bridges through Chicago.

Best seat in the house
– a good place to view the world from when scooting around the lanes, roads and highways.

On the bank of a stream
– especially when the verdant valley provides a perfect backdrop.

LSD
– cruising down Chicago’s lakefront from Hollywood to the Gold Coast. This is my new commute.

Long Sight
– another couple of images from yesterday’s trip. Following the tracks gets interrupted by the occasional train. Either a freight or the South Shore Line.

Red Arrow Highway
– clear and cool air followed us along the shore to Michigan. Fairly quiet roads through Lansing, Gary, New Buffalo. Brunch of pancakes, eggs ‘n’ sausage washed down with delicious coffee at Three Oaks.

Lake County Lap
– with rising May temperatures a loop around north east Illinois was on the cards. A stop by Fox River for a well earned coffee; being the first time since the start of the pandemic on our weekend rides. Taking back roads along the Illinois Wisconsin state line we rode to the Lake and back down Sheridan Road with a quick stop at the Durand Art Institute in Lake Forest.

Early Light
Morning Dust
– tearing off into the high desert trail. There’s nothing like riding under the fresh early morning light. Especially if the destination is some wilderness backwater.

Throttle Grip
WI Route 42
– quality light from the west as the sun sank over the Dairyland. The road ahead always beckons.

Get your kicks…
– we’re now traveling through Missouri along the old cross country driving road. Occasionally an old American car peeps out from some weeds.

NYC
– Tiger roars over the Brooklyn Bridge. Iconic symbol of Manhattan Island.
