After acquiring some cheap flights, cashing in some Hilton points, and some trip prep and planning we were underway. We arrived at O'Haire to some unseasonably warm weather with only a few minor airport issues.
A short cab ride to the Hilton Garden Inn in Hoffman Estates and then a great lunch at the MillRose Restaurant and we finally headed over to pick up the new bike from Cyclewerks
. John, Guy and the rest of the crew at Cyclewerks were great. Everything was in order and we began the journey. Of course right out of the gate, the first thing we experience is major traffic heading back to the hotel… Stop and go traffic completing 6 miles in about 45 minutes was not exactly what I had in mind for the inaugural ride.
Even though boxer engines get a little snotty when they get hot, it was nice to finally be on the bike and starting the adventure. After kicking back at the hotel bar for a spell we headed over to Dover Straits for dinner. The nautical theme was a bit too tacky for our tastes, but the service was good and the food was okay.
