BICYCLE
ILLINOIS
Centralia to Effingham
Overall
Route Description
The route
from Centralia to Effingham
is generally flat
and
passes
through sparsely
populated areas with lush forests
and rolling hills. This is
Illinois oil country and many
times you'll see oil drums
and oil derricks pumping. Coming
into Salem there is a beautiful
stretch of road where the tree
limbs have almost completely
covered the road like a canopy
and you will definitely want
to get a picture. Coming into
and out of Effingham there
are also some great rolling
hills through sparsely populated
areas dotted with forests.
Century
Option
The century
option will be a century loop
that both starts
and ends at the Effingham main
lodging site. A rest stop will
be set
up at the main lodging site to
replenish yourself before riding
the century option.
