Hi, next June I am planning a long distance ride (not too terribly long) to St. Louis, MO from Chicago, IL and a return trip after that.
I am wondering if anybody has some good routes that should be considered, even some route that people know through Champaigne, even people that ride in Illinois in their city or town maybe some recommended roads to take even if they are only 10 miles worth because I would rather plan the route with routes that I know cyclists use regularly.
Any sort of insight would be greatly appreciated, thank you very much.
