The "Blackhawk" statue was not intended to be of Chief Blackhawk. Larado Taft, the sculptor, said it was a composite of several area tribal groups including the fox and sac; with whom Blackhawk is associated.

I've rode that to Rockfalls and back a few times. Best in the fall when the season is changing. Breakfast in Byron lunch in rockfalls, and back to Bings on south main for dinner.

Pros:
Route is very pretty green with lots of shade. I was nice and cool even in a perforated leather jacket on an 80 F day. Mostly flat terrain, but nice long sweeping corners around the river banks. One deviation I recommend is if you do this as an "out and back" (I did from Chicago area), then consider going on the east bank between Oregon and Byron (they have a drag strip over there if you are so inclined).
Cons:
Northbound route is definitely rougher road.
Will most likely be doing it again! Well worth the day trip out from Chicago.
