...The Trials and Tribulations(but mostly Joys!) of Team Oz Day 6, Saturday From McHenry to Chicago(67.1 miles)

We Made It!!!

     Excitement is in the air on day six. Although the route is less than 70 miles today, bikers are urged to start at 6 a.m. rather than 6:30 a.m. We are scheduled to arrive in Chicago before 4 p.m. for the closing ceremonies. Extra time is allotted to make it through the traffic laden streets of the city. Pictures are taken at our bike parking site(prior to departure); at the few rest stops along the way; in Chicago at the end of the ride, and at our celebration of family and friends and achievements that evening. Also included is an exceptional house of worship we passed coming into the city. This city is blessed with beautiful architecture!

Edie Kalweit has been a St. Joan of Arcer for 23 years now. Now that her children are grown, there is time to participate more fully in activities taking place at St. Joan's. She very much looks forward to the AIDS ride next week! Team "OZ" will make every attempt to keep St. Joan's informed as they approach Chicago!
