Last night, the Betties took the Cascade District by storm. The ride was long and gorgeous, and afterward we were treated to some of the finest eats many of us have had in a long time. Oh, yum! Thank you, Andrea, for having a birthday. And a husband who really cooks!

Pass the butt balm
It's about ten o'clock in the evening and I'm finishing dinner at a cool Chicago restaurant on West Randolph when all of a sudden I notice a stream of cyclists passing by outside.
They just keep coming and coming...and it dawns on me...Hey! They're all wearing flesh-colored jerseys...so my friend and I run outside for a look...and I'm like, wait a sec...those...aren't...flesh...colored...jerseys...HOLY SHIT!
At this point, one of them stands up on his bike and gives us a full frontal.
Of course, I googled naked chicago bike ride and it turns out it's an annual thing. Worldwide. To protest oil consumption and celebrate the human form and yada yada yada.
Tour de Bar Elvis pales in comparison!

Bettys in a parallel universe
Hmmm...check this out...an actual betty group from New Zealand. Maybe we could get them to be our sister bettys and do a ride over there some day...
Tonight just felt like a ride to New Zealand. Lots of head wind and not a lot of endorphins til about mile 15. Thank god they kicked in later on as we gorged ourselves on chicklaki and peanut butter pie at Alladin's.
Special guest star at tonight's ride: Bike Shop Betty, also known as Jenna, the custom paint goddess who tricked out Kelly's new ride in a glittery blue on blue.

It's a fashion statement
For all who have been clamoring for a shot of Ted in purple, voila. You can thank Deb E. She had some other nice shots I'd be happy to share, but for some reason my site will not let me upload them and I've spent too much time trying already! Grrrr! E-mail me if you want them.
