Ride
some low-congestion two-lane blacktop and get away from
the city congestion. You'll see many farms, an ultralite
airfield, a competition gocart track and a beautiful state
park.

Road Quality:
|
This
route is mostly flat, straight 2-lane road from Oswego until
Ottawa. After Ottawa, the road turns twisty for a few miles
before entering beautiful
Starved Rock State Park. Be careful in the twisties
if you've never ridden them before. In IL they are rare
and newer riders should take it easy!

Roadside Amenities:

You
pass a few gas stations along the way as well as some good
small town restaurants. The restaurant next to the Amoco
has some good inexpensive food.

You
can start off in Oswego
Illinois. Pick up 71 south at Route 34 (Ogden Avenue)
and take it all the way south until you enter Starved Rock
State Park. 71 turns twice in Ottawa, so make sure to follow
the signs.
