With the beautiful weather Saturday I decided to ride to Chicago to go to the Motoblot Bike Show (formerly the Mods vs Rockers). It was about a 250 mile ride to the show which is on Fulton Street a couple of miles from downtown Chicago. The show was on the about 3 blocks of street and a few parking lots about 4 or 5 blocks north of the United Center. They crammed a lot of bikes and cars into 3 blocks. People and bikes were coming and going all day long.

Best grilled cheese sandwich I've ever had. 3 cheeses chicken, bacon, hot sauce, and Sweet Ray's barbeque sauce. Coupled with a local brew was a great meal. |
