Tandem Rally in Springfield, Illinois

It was a great trip with DeCooks on my second week in U.S. We put the tri-cycle and two-cycle in a smal truck behind the car and did our 3 hours trip to Springfield. When we got there, we put our luggages to our rooms. Oh! By the way we stayed in Hilton Hotel. It has enourmos beds and comfy pillows. Anyway after we changed our clothes and prepared the bikes, we did a short trip in Springfield. (Springfield is a small but good looking city. It is also the capital city of the state of Illinois.) We rode approximately 20 miles around the city. It was the first time that I rode a tri-cycle. The things you just have to do are pedaling and helping the guy on the front for the balance. On the second and the third day we pedaled over 120 miles through the corn fields and near small lakes with 300 bikes and 700 bikers. It was amazing. It had been prepared 2 food breaks in each day and a dinner on the last day so it was a huge organization. Also it was my first trip with the DeCooks and I understood that how joyful they are. They were always talking, making jokes and smiling. This trip was a sign of how happy I will be with them on rest of the days that I stayed at their house.
