Day 26 Fort Atkinson to Chicago

For the first time, we do not have to write the name of the city on the map, it is pre-printed:

My kind of town – Chicago is

When we finally hit the lakeshore bike path it was easy to remember, why I love Chicago. The high rise buildings, people having fun along Lake Michigan playing volleyball, cycling and not least swimming. At least a hundred people were taking their laps.

But Chicago is like most of the US the bright side and the flip side. We know that year to date 1770 people haver been shot in Chicago of which 294 have been shot and killed. More than one person per day.

We got in late and had only time for a quick dinner. I hope to show Troels some of my favorite places in Chicago tomorrow.

Today’s ride in torrential rain

It was 135 miles (218k) and from around noon to around 4 pm it simply poured down on us. Only good thing to say about that is, that we have finally tested our equipment – the bags, and they passed the test brilliantly. Everything was dry but the bicycles will need some care and attention on our rest day Wednesday.

  1. Chicago sounds nice. Please find out if we can buy it – maybe we can give Greenland in exchange ….😂😂😂
