ILLINOIS
Effingham to Champaign
Overall
Route Description
As the daily
mileages increase from Effingham
to Champaign the route really
starts flatten
out even
more,
although
there
will be some challenging rolling
hills as you pedal through
a few river valleys. There
are many more long, straight
stretches through the back
roads than before which are
perfect for pacelining. You'll
end up your day in Champaign/Urbana
at the University of Illinois,
the state's premier public
university, under the shadow
of Memorial Stadium and home
of the Fighting Illini. Go Illini!
Century
Option
The century option will
occur directly on the route itself
from the fourth rest stop in
Pesotum into Champaign since
this ride is the shortest of
the day and thus the most amenable
to have extra mileage added
onto. There will not be an
optional century loop out of
the main lodging site in Champaign
due to the increased traffic
in Champaign - once you're
there, you're there.
