July’s women-who-bike brunch in Chicago on Sunday was a lovely little affair. (I believe most of our ladies were resting up after the annual overnight L.A.T.E. Ride.) We set up a picnic on the banks of a river just off a recreational bike path. Everyone brought a little something to share and there were lots of fresh berries, homemade pastries, and refreshing spiked drinks.
The weather was a bit hot and there was a flat tire at the end, but nothing that the ladies could not handle.
It was so lovely to meet new people and to see familiar faces!

Oh my oh my how I love your skirt!
And the picnics sounds excellent. Maybe I need to just start up a picnic ride. Mmmm…
And in the winters it could be a slow food pot luck ride.
Don’t you love my brainwaves in your comments box?

The skirt’s from Zara and it was pretty inexpensive.
I do love your brainwaves in my comment box. :)
Beautiful pictures, Dottie! I also love your skirt. It looks a bit daring – like it might be the kind that floats up unexpectedly while riding your bike!
I wore black bike shorts underneath the skirt, but the pleats help it stay down. :)
This picnic looks like a lot of fun! The food looks so yummy, especially those berries. They’re out of season here at the moment.
Love the blue bicycle dress of the lady with the vintage Raleigh!
I loved our little group Sunday. Though, I didn’t love the heat.
LGRAB Chicago readers; if you can’t make the brunches we also have a month happy hour. This month we’re meeting at a bar in Wicker Park on Wednesday the 20th. Hope to see some new faces.
Dotties, are you coming to the Seersucker Ride?
I may come to the Seersucker Ride. Depends how I feel. I’m definitely going to Tour de Fat on Saturday, so I may need Sunday to do non-bike stuff like clean. :)
I love the blue dress with the bicycle print. Do you know where she got it?
I found it at a local thrift store but someone at brunch said they saw it in the Anthropology catalog. Happy hunting!
What lovely ladies! All shapes, all sizes, so colorful, great picnic food, OMG I want to be there. I can only imagine all the girlie conversation that takes place. Thanks for sharing.
Oh, it looks like so much fun! Love how you interspersed photos of the flowers Dottie!
[…] can check out Dottie’s gorgeous pictures over on the post she published on her blog. And I highly recommend stopping by Ash’s tumblr blog as well – she’s been spotting some […]
That looks so fun! Love the picnic basket and everyone looks so pretty and carefree.
