The last couple of days have been extremely packed - we got to go home and see our families, we had a chance to spend some time in the cities and of course we got to do some laundry (and bike maintenance).
After a night in the UIC dorms, we got ready for a nice Father's Day bike ride only to find that the weather was in an uncooperative mood. Luckily, it cleared in within some hours and the stop in Evanston, IL boasted good weather and high spirits. We enjoyed our time in Chicagoland and the rides in and out of town, but alas, it is time to go again. The trip is about a quarter done and the remaining three quarters promise to be exciting!
