Checked out of my hotel room on Thursday and rode my loaded bike to Doug's apartment, which is in an area called "Printer's Row."

On Monday Greg had recommended that I go to the Chicagoland Bicycling Federation offices on Dearborn Street for maps and other cycling info. So I stopped there first and met some nice people who filled me in on ways to best leave the area by bike.

Got to Doug's and locked the bike in the basement of his building and brought all my gear upstairs. I then left at around noon for more sightseeing and dropped three rolls of film to be developed. I even managed to buy more CDs at a record store.

Got back to the apartment at around 5pm and did some laundry. Doug came in at around 8pm and we went out for dinner and got back around 11pm.
