weekend...

well, as some of you know, chicago got hit pretty hard with snow on saturday. i woke up kind of late and turned the t.v. on...i believe it was around 11am or so and the weather man stated, "8.5 inches on the ground so far"...wtf?! it didn't stop there...don't know how much ended up falling but it didn't let up all day and night. why am i stating this? cause sunday morning was the start of the tour da chicago...



apparently there was a mini-race within the race?(cargo race)


looks like good times were had...congratulations to coyote for taking the jersey for the first stage. there's still alot of racing left so lets see how long he can hold on to it.

I can't believe the Tour de Chicago is still happening after the tragic death of Matthew Manger-Lynch less than a year ago during this same unsanctioned bike race through traffic on frozen Chicago streets.

What happened to safe racing and looking out after one another? How many more bike riders need to die doing reckless unsanctioned races?

Unbelievable.

I can't believe that peopple are still walking around on the streets of Chicago after someone was killed less than a year ago, during these unsanctioned walking events in traffic on frozen Chicago streets.

Unbelievable.
