Couple more miles North and a bit West... some pretty good riding...

that video was done while riding on Stagecoachtrail westbound from Lena to Galena, and then blackjack rd from Galena south to Hanover. we went more south from there to Sabula and crossed the river and went up Rt 52 to Dibuque, IA and took Rt 20 back to Chicagoland

Now in the dead of winter, when we cannot ride, we Midwesterners can put on all our riding gear and watch the video. That may sound absurd, but I get pretty desperate to ride by mid-January. That really is a nice area to ride in. I was there for a few days last year and enjoyed the roads very much.

Silver, you should have crossed over into Iowa at Dubuque and taken US 52 and then US 67 South... MUCH better than IL 84
