Cronicles of Peoria

The Kirkwood Eagles ("Wood") as we fondly refer to them, will be playing in the tournament championship tonight at 7:30 after beating Kankakee (2008 NJCAA national runners up) by 34 points in a 1 sided smothering last night at the ICC sports complex in East Peoria.

Afterward, The Princess and I went our for dinner. We went to One World - a great college bistro located on the Bradley College campus. Andi had a pulled chicken sandwich, while dad opted for the Cuban. We had a great talk and she filled me in on all of the team and school topics. I love to listen to her laugh!

After my ride yesterday with my local host, Mike Honnold, he sent me an email with our Tuesday route, along with a link mapped at "map my route". pasted below is the route for today.



Andi doesn't play until 7:30 tonight and I need to check out of my hotel this morning. So, it looks like a full afternoon on the bike. I think I'll ride for a couple of hours before meeting Mike at 12:30 and then maybe catch a cup of java and then ride a couple more hours afterward. I'm hoping for a hundy (maybe 125)today.
