The Eagles' Loop - By mchance

While I haven't ridden all of this loop yet, I've ridden parts of it. IL-76/WI-140 is my standard bypass route to avoid the toll road on I-90 on my way to Milwaukee (a trip I've taken almost every year for about a decade). It's obvious from the half mile jog at the state line that the Illinois and Wisconsin road planners weren't on the same page. BTW, the loop is about 156 miles (according to H-D Ride Planner), not 256K miles from the description. Ride Planner says about 3 3/4 hours total riding time for the entire loop.
