The spindle is one of the things I wanted to see when I moved here. I am super excited. I am looking forward to LSD trip, I hope they have worked on the potholes… oh yeah, NO SLOWING DOWN for the S Curve…. NONE!

I have only lived here a little over a year… no memories of it.

do you remember the real “S” curve of LSD?
Here is some information about the S curve.
Bicycling on the sidewalks there was terrifying as a kid, but it was a blast driving through when there wasn’t much traffic.. It always seemed like a run down dumpy area.
I ran in the 1985 Chicago Marathon, and they had us run on the newly re-done section before it was open to the public.. very cool.
We may not be doing that section on our club drive, but I am sure we will have a northsiders caravan down to the start, and we will go thru there.

I’ll surely be out of the LSD run…. Nothing better than scaring the sh*t out of traffic when taking the s curve at 60mph!!!
