"Your Story" by Anna H

Riding close to 200 miles in one weekend may sound like torture to some, but to me it has always sounded like a dream. One I never thought I could accomplish until my weekend with Out Our Front Door. I have loved bikes for as long as I can remember but have often been intimidated by the idea of camping by bike. I had the perfect opportunity to face this fear when I signed up for The North Loop Ride....

Two day city escape, soothing and relaxing: Gearing up for another cross country trip by practicing on The North Loop Ride 
​ - Lydia is well seasoned adventure bicyclists. She did the North Loop Ride to escape the city, to test her gear and to build up her endurance for yet another bike traveling trip across America. Read her Full Your Story down below.
​After hearing about the North Loop Ride through meeting one of the founders, Glenn, at a City Year networking event, I was eager to experience the ride on May 14th and 15th. I moved to Chicago a little less than a year ago and have not been able to explore the naturey aspects of Illinois due to a tight work schedule and unfamiliarity of the area. I was feeling slightly discouraged over the winter months because of the cold weather and lack of spending time outdoors.

​This past weekend I had the opportunity to join Andrew, Glenn, and a few other rad people on a 185 mile ride. Note: the longest ride I’d previously completed was 35 miles. But no fear- this is a ride anyone who is somewhat active (I hadn’t exactly been riding regularly)  can complete with the support of the Out Our Front Door organization.
This trip was an opportunity to prove to myself that it’s never too late to pick up a new hobby or find an adventure. And most importantly, how much you can do with minimal equipment and a determined, positive, rock-solid attitude.
