Getting out of Chicago and Touchdown Jesus

I was sad to leave Chicago, it was such a fun city and still so much more things I wanted to do, but we had to head to South Bend. The first part of our ride was along the lake shore bike path, which is right next to lake Michigan. There was a little confusion on the route since we hit a dead end. We eventually got on the right path and head out of Chicago and into Indiana. We rode through Gary Indiana, which was one of the more financial distraught cities in the U.S. After the ride we had a KOB performance for the local children's museum.



So we had another challenge to accomplish that night at McDonald's; the 10,000 calorie challenge in one sitting. The four of us were all amped to do it. We tried to strategize as best we could, and one of us actually dropped out of the competition. It was actually me I would have done it, but I wanted to see the Notre Dame campus, which was totally worth it. I got to see Touchdown Jesus, which is one of the most iconic symbols in college football. I was able to catch the end of the 10,000 calorie challenge, none of the participants looked happy. It seems impossible. The highest anyone got was 6600 and they all through up.



By not making the 10k mark each participant me included since I backed out had to put Icy Hot in the chamois for the entire ride to Kalamazoo. It started out to be pretty tingly, but a couple minutes later lots of pain. It eventually subsided and eased into a more soothing feeling. Sam Leaf and I wanted to go to Captain Clutch's house since he went to high school in Kalamazoo, but that plan was unsuccessful.
