If you stay at a supported
hotel, please leave your baggage on a rolling
baggage cart if one is available and not
just on the floor. This will greatly help
our staff quickly load your bags onto our
vehicles and help ensure that we deliver
them to the next stopping town before you
arrive as well as saving wear and tear on
our staff.

When the route goes onto a

be used as a designator on the ground marking
to signify a "Bike Path".

added.
- If you purchase any Bicycle Illinois
merchandise items after you initially register,
you will
be charged an additional shipping fee at the
