Illinois Valley Wheelmn

All -

Once again, Sheldon Schafer has volunteered his time to introduce local riders to all the wonders Peoria has to offer - by bicycle!  The 2010 version of Pedal Peoria begins on April 25th (Earth Day) with a ride starting at Lakeview Museum.  Throughout the summer, Sheldon will be offering frequent tours of the city by bicycle for all who want to show up.  Speaking from personal experience, Peoria is a very interesting city to traverse by bicycle, so I hope many of you take advantage of Sheldon's knowledge of local landmarks - both big - and small.  See below file for details about all dates - Thanks, Sheldon!

The Illinois Valley Wheelm'n have been given the wonderful opportunity to volunteer as a club at the 2010 Lake Evergreen Triathalon in Bloomington, IL on July 17th, 2010, and are currently looking for club members to help us out!  20-25 people will be needed to help as corner marshalls along the bike course.  Plans are still being formulated right now, but we will most likely carpool over to Bloomington 5:30 or 6 o'clock that morning, and be needed on the course until 10 A.M. - or whenever the last rider is safely off the course.  The IVW will then treat everyone who helped out to lunch at a local restaurant/pizza place. 

We are receiving a sizeable monetary donation to the club for our services, so it is very important we get the minimum 20-25 people helping out.  I currently have about 6 people helping out - so obviously we can use a lot more!  If you are interested in helping out the club in a big way - please let me know!  Mike Honnold - 309-696-2591...thank you!
