On the Road to Gaitlinburg

[ElkSpyder]

Left Wisconsin today. Had a great ride to Peoria IL. Wisconsin 67 south and then US 14 to IL 23. IL 23 with a detour to I-80. I-80 west to I-39. I-39 south to IL 18, then on into Peoria.

Leaving here Thursday on a charity ride for St. Judes. Looks like 116 bikers and 50 of those are 2 up.

Can't wait to meet everyone.

If you come up via Rockford, you'll end up on I-43 and pass by the three Elkhorn exits. Have a safe trip, watch out in Walworth county, a lot of bridge work being done on I-43.

No wireless access yesterday, so we made our ride on Thursday, two groups of 60 bikes, with IL state police and Peoria County Sheriffs escorts all the way to the state line. Then the IL state police dropped out and the Peoria Count Sheriffs continued on with us to Tennessee. Since the sheriff of Peoria County is the organizer of the ride. This morning we rode on into St. Jude’s rain almost the full ride today. And it poured while we toured St. Jude’s. Found out it takes 1.4 million a DAY to keep St. Jude's open. So the 256,000 we raised is good for about 4 hours.
