Andrea, Jin, and I acccepted the city's challenge this weekend and rode down (and back) the entire length of the lakefront path. I got a little sunburnt and nearly got in two accidents, but otherwise we had a grand time.
(If you're thinking of doing the trip, I wrote up some more detailed suggestions for the Chicago Metblog.)

I've ridden the lake path from Montrose down to 77th last year, and back. I think I'll have to try this challenge myself. Neat!

Thanks for getting my flat butt in the picture.
