Maidei goes on a world tour-Part 1 of the Bicycle Mystery Tour

Maybe she had trouble with the silver cord that comes off the ski tips

Ha! Ha! I knew someone would say something about that

Before we began our long trip home, we visited Lowden State Park where the 48 foot statue of Chief Blackhawk sits on a 70 foot bluff overlooking the Rock River and the town of Oregon.

We got on the road and headed south, making a stop in Bloomington at the bike shop to stretch our legs and do a little shopping. Maidiei enjoyed the trip and was a good passenger. She even took a little nap with Yuki, our dog.

(Sorry I'm dragging this out but want to add the pictures).

Once we arrived home, Maidiei made herself at home and was thrilled to see the new bike jersey given to her by the River to River Cycling Club.

Today, Maidiei and I took a trip to Rend Lake and did some riding on the bike trail. She really enjoyed herself and wore her new jersey. After the ride, she took a break on the swings and did a little site-seeing.

I adore Maidei's River 2 River Cycling Jersey. Where did you ever get one her size?

Wow, Maidei has lots of fun..and is acquiring some stuff. Her journey will get heavy. She's also getting her tiny white-green jersey from Susan O whenever she gets to Oregon by the coast.

Our club got it from the company when we ordered jerseys and I saved it for Maidiei. It's a little long but it will work. She likes it!

Maidei went to the SIU Saluki basketball game last night and got to meet Grey Dog. She really enjoyed herself.

She's wrapping up her week in Illinois and is planning to go to Michigan next to visit Trek-Chick.
