Chicago Loop is one of 77 officially designated community areas located in the City of Chicago, Illinois, United States. It is the historic commercial center of Downtown Chicago.

Apologies for the poor quality, after having these prints developed I soon learned that my camera had decided to 'jack' altogether. Included purely for historical interest.

Descending the famous Gata loops. Most of these roads are connected with dirt trails and you can take them instead of the tarmac if you are on a good 4x4 or a motorcycle without much luggage. This is a nice place to do some riding if you can find a place around here to stay.
This was too long to fit into my frame, so it had to be diagonal, and a tad looped! I'm not sure which Geometrid this is.

My daughter likes Honey Cheerios but they didn't have any in the supermarket, so I bought these 'Honey Loops' instead. Guess what? She doesn't like them. I thought I'd at least get a photo out of them before binning them.
This is a photograph from the 6th annual running of the Meath Spring Half Marathon and 10KM Road Races and Fun Runs which were promoted and hosted by Bohermeen Athletic Club at Bohermeen, Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 12th of March 2017 at 11:00. The half marathon consists of a 11KM and 10KM repeated loop around the roads of Bohermeen and Oristown. The 10KM race just completes the 2nd part of the half marathon. The finish line is on the running track within Bohermeen Community Center. The course is a fast fair course with a few small hills. Last year the course was 'reversed' which just meant that the traditional course changed to accomodate the large number of participants and the narrow country roads on which both the race participants and race traffic must both share before, during and after the race. Most runners agreed that this made the course much faster as a result. There was almost a total of 1,000 participants in both races.
The other great variable in road racing - the weather - was dry, clear but rather windy. At several parts of the course there was a stiff headwind which made these sections that bit more difficult. Temperatures were around a seasonal 10C for this time in March in Ireland.
Bohermeen AC is steeped in Irish athletics history since 1927 and it is this experience and exceptional community spirit and volunteering which has made this event today so successful. Having now organised the event for six years running it is certain that the event will continue to grow and expand become one of the mainstays on the Irish athletic club road racing calendar for many years to come.
This race takes place about one month after the Bewley's 10 Mile Road Race in Trim (just down the road from Bohermeen). Indeed these races truly kick-start the whole road racing season of fixtures amongst the clubs in Meath who are now famous for the quality and standard of the road races staged and organised.
The race is supported by substantial local sponsorship from businesses in the local area. McNally Logistics and Transportation are the main sponsors of this year's event. The company specialises in national and international haulage.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.

Our full set of photographs from today's races is available in the Flickr photoset: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157633023180717/
Route Description: The 5KM race took one loop of the following course description whilst the 10KM simply repeated the loop a second time. The race started about 1/2 KM from the Sports Center on the link road to the N4: start (goo.gl/maps/3xaRb Google Streetview). The race then proceeds in a clock-wise direction onto the N4 Bypass (goo.gl/maps/jVv1e Google Streetview) for about 1KM. Then the race turns at the well known McDonald's Roundabout which will be known to anyone who has ran in the Longford Half or Full Marathon (McDonalds goo.gl/maps/6lFIF Google Streetview) and then follows the R198 towards the town center along Battery Road and Crosskeys, Church Street to Bridge Street crossing the Camlin River and then left onto Great Water Street returning back to Templemicheal and the finish area. The only climb on the course is the rise at the McDonald's Roundabout. On the By-pass participants were marshalled onto the walking path inside the hard shoulder.
The race was organised in conjunction with Longford Sports Partnership which was established in 2008 under the auspices of Longford County Development Board. One of the key mission goals of Longford Sports Partnership is to increase participation in sport and physical recreation and ensure that local resources are used to best effect. The Partnership also help to ensure enhanced planning of sport at local level.
This was a very well organised event and the members of Longford AC and the Sports Partnership deserve great credit for this. The running of the 5KM and 10KM races simultaneously worked very well. There were about 180 participants in both races combined. Refreshments were served in the Scouts Hall beside the Leisure Center after the race.

In the 1870's the Southern Pacific (Central Pacific) Railroad sought to link their rails in central California to those in Southern California. The path was blocked by the rugged Tehachapi Mountain range, which acts as an east-west barrier between Bakersfield and Los Angeles. Since construction directly south was impractical, the Southern Pacific Railroad decided to go southeast to Mojave, through the Tehachapi Pass. The summit at Tehachapi Pass was 4000'. Construction from Bakersfield to Caliente was somewhat routine, but from that point on the elevation going east rises quickly. From Caliente to the summit (now the City of Tehachapi) the rise is 2,735 feet. The maximum grade permitted was 2.2%. By routing the track alongside the slopes of the Tehachapi foothills, engineer William Hood could envision completing the task. However, just east of Keene, there was an apparently unsolvable problem. An increase in elevation of nearly 80 feet was required, unattainable using typical designs .
The problem was solved by constructing a unique loop. Going southeasterly from Keene, a train first passes through an entry tunnel. The track then does a complete counterclockwise loop, passing over the entry tunnel before continuing easterly. (See sketch below). The loop is sized to have a length adequate to achieve the needed gain in elevation. The result is a loop 3,799' long, with a typical diameter of about 1210 feet. By continuing to gain elevation throughout the loop, engineer Hood was able to make up the needed elevation (about 77' rise in the loop). With modern freight trains, often more than a mile long, the locomotive passes over (or under, depending upon direction) the final cars of its own train!
The entire track from Bakersfield to the summit was completed July 10, 1876. In all, in addition to the loop, there are 18 tunnels with a total length of 8,240'. There are 8,300
Pima County celebrated the completion of The Loop by hosting a celebration at Brandi Fenton Memorial Park on Saturday, March 17, 2018. Other celebrations were held at Kino Sports Complex.
