Let me know if you have any questions. This will be a very long day in the saddle. There will be a ton of hills, some places for food and traffic. Please beware that you are responsible for yourself and if you need to bail have a plan in mind. Print out the map and cues if you can. Everyone should have a map in case you get lost. Any questions please let me know. We will be leaving 4am sharp since it is a long ride and we will be out ALL day. Bring front and rear lights for the morning hours and for night time since we will arrive home in the complete darkness.
Here goes the route. I highly recommend bringing a cross bike with 35mm tires since we will possibly ride some gravel or you might the tires in case you have to bail on a shoulder. I do not advise road bikes.

So, i have done some research, and we will pass only 3.2 miles from the highest point in all of illinois, which is just north of Scales Mound.
ReplyDeleteSomeday, we should do a ride to the top of this mound, and conquer illinois.
