The Loop

I was there!! Great pics and map.

One thing though... When you title a thread "The Loop", Chicagoans think of something a bit different. Here's what a Chicagoan might post:

The Loop

Five times a week, when the weather is bad or good, a good number of my friends take a less than pleasurable 1 hour or so ride, usually by train, to what we call "The Loop". The Loop is bounded on the north and west by the Chicago River, on the east by Lake Michigan, and on the south by Roosevelt Road, although the commercial core has expanded into adjacent community areas. From my house and back again," The Loop" (shown on the map) is about 20 miles of stop lights or traffic congestion. Nothing too technical and almost all the curves can be taken at or near posted speed limits on dry roads, just be sure to avoid the red-light camera. "The Loop" is generally a terrible place to ride a motorcycle, unless you're a courier when your maneuverability might outweigh your invisibility. Although, early on a Saturday or Sunday morning, when the traffic is light enough, it can be a delightful change of pace from a ride in the country.
