| BICYCLE ILLINOIS
Route
Our route generally parallels I-57 and although the
terrain does vary, it is generally very flat especially after
Carbondale.
The route will start out going through the densely
forested
and hilly Shawnee National Forest region in southern Illinois,
and will transition into very flat, open riding on the
county back roads through the corn and soybean fields of
central
Illinois. As we arrive in the Chicago area the riding will
become more urban and you will cap your experience riding
directly next to Lake Michigan into downtown on Chicago's
world famous Lakefront Path!
Note that posted route data may not correlate exactly
to the actual route you will ride due to reroutes necessary
within one month.
