Yesterday went biking with people, the owner of the bike shop led us to a beachside near Calumet Park, "a small detour" he said.

There was really nothing to see, just another beach of Lake Michigan. But he rode before us, over a tiny hill, freewheeled down and jumped off, leaving his bike to fall onto the lawn, grass not yet full grown.

"It feels like the middle of nowhere." Is this why you like this place? Because when I go biking, I want nothing but to be in the middle of nowhere.
