Wa****ngton (AP) -- Barack Obama joined family and neighbors
for a bicycle ride along the shores of Lake Michigan on Sunday.
Obama, who last week claimed the Democratic presidential
nomination, capped his victory with a quiet, long weekend at
home in Chicago.
The Illinois senator and his wife, Michelle, rode to a
neighbor's house with their daughters, Malia and Sasha, on
Sunday and the group then headed out for the ride along the
scenic lake shore. But the outing was cut short by a downpour.
Obama's brief respite from the campaign was scheduled to end
Monday with a speech in Raleigh, N.C., and an evening fundraiser
in St. Louis. The speech will launch a two-week tour of the
country focused on economic issues.
