My
plan would be to augment a simple 300-mile 'round the lake' ride (per Tom)
with two and a half days' sightseeing in Chicago, followed by six days/260
miles on the Great Illinois Trail. Possible itinerary tabled below,
Tom
has already selected accommodation at his six nominated overnight
stops. It would be easy for me to do something similar for the six
overnights on the Great Illinois Trail.
Then
over to you for a sanity check!
