Good lines and great color! Maybe when its just you and her, you can speak Italian and call her your little Testa Rossa!

For biking in the Peoria area , I recommend Roanoke/Randolph Area near Methodist Hospital over to High St Moss Ave. Also stop by Cyd’s in Vonochan’s Junction on Prospect Ave for something light for picnic on Grandview Dr. Fon-Du-Lac Dr, Kickapoo Creek Rd are fun, too. I like to catch Farmdale Rd area where East Peoria Sonic Restaurant is and go any of 3 ways: to Pleasant Hill Antique Mall or Morton or Sunnyland comes out where Knickerbockers is located. Also try School Rd south from Washington and the shoreline road south from Chilliclothe to Rome. I think Springdale Cemetery is OK for just some low speed putting around and the history. I do that sometimes after breakfast at Gebby’s.

One other tip, If you go to the TT cycle races and park in a grassy field, you’ll want to bring along a vertically crushed soda can to place under the kickstand so she doesn’t sink into the soft ground and topple over. Otherwise you’ll look like Jack Black in “Shallow Hal” as you try to help her back up.
