Chicago

Ok. First off, sorry for the lack of updates/pics. Internet is really a luxury when you're on the road. and so is time.

The trip is going very well. I'm having the time of my life. It's amazing how 25 people just come together and become such an efficient and supportive team so quickly. The first three days were rough.... but at least now we can say that we've biked through the Appalachians. It feels really weird that now we think of 60 mile days as "easy".

Well well... where to begin... I'd totally make fun of Cheng's bruised ribs but I have since then lost the right to do so since I got in an accident myself as well. Right now I have red hair and a patch of blue suture thread hanging out the back of my head. Busted my camera and cellphone... but that's a small price to play considering that I'm relatively intact except for the 6 stiches in the back of my head. I owe my life to the helmet and teammates who stopped my bleeding on the scene. Always wear a helmet!

The Lakes are great, especially at the end of the day when we jump in. It's sort of unnatural to me though, to not be able to see the other side.

Chicago is beautiful. Too bad I don't have any pictures yet. Just bought myself a Nikon 4600 (w/ 1 yr insurance). So the camera action will be resumed.

weeee!
well, it's typical of you to "tsu tse", and come off in relatively ok, so I guess that is the unavoidable in life being your sis.... (remeber that once we went skiing at the poconos and you crashed big time right in front of my eyes?)

But please thank Franka for keeping us updated during the time that you were still in hospital, hopefully conscious...

me wanna go to chicago too.... did you guys get to go by the millenium park? (with various things by various famous architects today)

Take care, and now you've done it once, no more riding while not thinking.

P.S. dad started teaching me to drive, and I almost ran into a parked car right after he pointed out the fire hydrant you narrowly missed. :p
